I always like to take the points if both teams are good, both are bad or one is slightly better but on the road and favored.

However, it's hard to keep betting against the Cards when they keep blowing people out, even good teams.

That being said, I did take the Cards last week but took the Pack and the points this week.

Sorry, didn't see your post!

I'm leaning Packers also (even though they have their top WR's out) Seems like the public is on AZ this week so the move is Packers...

I think AZ probably wins, but of course in the NFL when you expect something, you never know, and past games may be deceiving. For example, I had a gut feel that the Bengals would be a good bet against the Ravens but then when I looked at their schedule and results to date, margin of victory or loss, strength of opponents, the Ravens looked like the better bet, but I lost.

It's kind of like AZ...the Pack feels like the team in my gut, but looking at past performance, the Cards seem to cover easily. If you feel it is a toss up, always take the points, especially if over 3, but as many as 6...that's a lot.

Nothing would surprise me though. Well, then again, the Cards keep surprising me..

I'm almost right Cards need a FG now so we can go to OT like I predicted in the 1st place.

If you're the Packers why don't you give Dillon the ball at the goaline? Is Pete Carroll calling plays?

I still would always kick the FG in the situation the Pack were in. Of course the TD puts the game pretty much out of reach, but allowing them to possibly tie it with a FG when they have one of the best long distance kickers in the league (or history) just seems tough. Especially after they got backed up 5 yards for delay of game.
