I don't think it's coincidence that Jarrett Bush had one of his better games last week when the opposition had no real incentive to target him, and both teams tried to stay vanilla. I would anticipate that Arizona will try to use formations and motion to try and free up Fitzgerald....trying to keep Woodson off of him.

It will be interesting to see whether Capers will dial up the pressure on the unmobile-but-quick-releasing Warner. I tend to think he's going to pick his moments as long as it's close. A lot of that may depend on whether the left side of the Cardinals line does a better job of blocking Matthews the second time around.


The one statistical advantage that Arizona has over Green Bay is in the red zone, both on offense and on defense. It's already been a trecherous proposition to settle for 3 with the Packers, given that Crosby isn't on top of his game. Settling for FGs here may put you behind if the Cardinals can move the ball.


I think that the Packers win on the relative strength of their defense, but I see this one pivoting on the big plays. GB ultimately gets the nod based on their ability to generate turnovers in that respect, but a poor showing on special teams could still negate that advantage.
