Each week, ProFootballTalk.com’s Mike Florio will break down and pick the winners of the NFL playoff games.

Green Bay at Arizona
Last year, the Cardinals faced heavy criticism for a 9-7 season and a
perception that they were one of the worst teams ever to qualify for the postseason.

They used it as a rallying cry, putting a chip on their shoulders and nearly hoisting the Lombardi Trophy.

But last year’s run to the Super Bowl was sparked by a visit from the happy-to-be-there Falcons. This time around, the Cardinals face a Packers team that is better equipped to overcome the Cardinals and then make a serious run at the Saints or the Vikings.

Thus, get a good look at Kurt Warner -- it might be the last time you ever see him again on a network other than the Disney Channel.

Pick: Packers 31, Cardinals 14
