Packers looking good for Sunday

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
