NBC Sports Bet Best Bets
NBC Sports Betting Analyst Vaughn Dalzell (@VmoneySports) likes the home favorite in this spot:
“We’re talking about a defense that allows a lot of rushing yards per game. The Arizona Cardinals, rank 30th in the NFL allowing 36.4 yards per possession. That is a big disadvantage, and they are at a travel disadvantage too. This is their first back-to-back roadie of the season, after squeezing out that monumental win against the Niners. So, this is a great fade spot on the Cardinals. Give me the Packers laying 5½ at home.”
