Packers vs Cardinals – Week 7 Game Information
Share this article:
The Green Bay Packers enter Week 7 riding high with a 3–1–1 record after defeating the Bengals 27–18 last Sunday at Lambeau Field. With confidence soaring and quarterback Jordan Love in control of one of the NFC’s most balanced offenses, Green Bay now travels west to face the Arizona Cardinals in what promises to be a fast-paced Sunday showdown under the desert sun.
The Cardinals, meanwhile, are fighting to turn their season around after a tough 1–5 start. Rookie quarterback Michael Penix Jr. will make his third consecutive start, hoping to spark an offense that has struggled to find rhythm but still shows flashes of potential behind wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. Despite Arizona’s urgency, Green Bay enters the matchup as the clear favorite thanks to its elite defense and efficient ground game led by Josh Jacobs and AJ Dillon.
The Packers’ secondary, anchored by Jaire Alexander and Rasul Douglas, will be tasked with slowing down the Cardinals’ young playmakers, while Rashan Gary and Kenny Clark look to continue their dominance up front. Head coach Matt LaFleur has emphasized discipline and complementary football as key factors for maintaining momentum deep into October.
“We know Arizona’s going to come out swinging,” LaFleur said earlier this week. “They’ve got talent, they’ve got speed, and they’re well-coached. But we’ve built our identity around toughness and execution. That’s how we travel.”
On the Cardinals’ side, head coach Jonathan Gannon is focused on restoring energy to his locker room after back-to-back losses. “We’ve got to play fast, play physical, and take care of the football,” Gannon said. “Green Bay’s a great team — but we’re not backing down.”

Betting Information
According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Packers are 6.5-point favorites over the Cardinals entering Week 7. Green Bay won last year’s meeting at Lambeau Field, 34–21, and has taken four of the last five matchups against Arizona.
The Packers have scored at least 24 points in every road game this season, while the Cardinals have been held under 20 in three of their last four. Green Bay also ranks top five in total defense and second in turnover differential, a combination that’s made them one of the NFC’s most complete teams.
However, recent history adds a wrinkle — Green Bay is just 2–5 in its last seven games played in domed stadiums, a trend Arizona hopes to exploit as they look to pull off the upset in front of a home crowd.
