Bakhtiari expected to return for Packers tonight

“I am confident that we have guys and myself that, when it matters for all the marbles, guys will show up”. Now, they are ready for the Arizona Cardinals, but they’re going to have to hit the field without two players and a rather long injury report. So, I think it’s the same thing. “I don’t think Aaron Rodgers is going to get sacked eight times (again)”, said Dave Smith, a Wisconsin native and owner of Casey Jones Grill, a popular Packers sports bar in Phoenix. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers must wear down Arizona’s pass rushers by running a lot of plays and moving the chains. “We did a good job the other night (against Washington) down 11-0”. No one should expect that kind of blowout when the teams meet tonight in the NFC divisional playoffs.

The Green Bay Packers rebounded from a late-season stumble with an impressive road victory over the Washington Redskins in the opening round of the playoffs on Sunday.

The Packers racked up 141 yards on the ground against the Redskins and passed for another 210.

Some question the Packers’ ability to win Saturday night against the second-seeded and favored Cardinals. They are also probably playing their best football all season right now as a defense. Due to contractual agreements, live streaming NFL football games are not available on smartphones. He leads a team that ranked first in total offense at 408.3 yards per game and second in scoring at 30.6 points. The Packers (10-6) earned their playoff spot in Week 15 but have lost consecutive games to close the season. In his absence, the Packers used Don Barclay, Josh Sitton and J.C. Tretter. Bakhtiari, however, would be a major upgrade at his natural position.

The Packers followed up their beating in the desert by losing at home to Minnesota in Week 17, costing them the NFC Division title. Palmer is 25-6 in last 31 starts….

This line of thinking ended up being somewhat accurate as the Packers signed CB Roberson Daniel off the practice squad to help defend the Arizona Cardinals lethal passing attack. “You cant really take too much else from it. Its a different game, and all these games have different personalities.”.

An argument can be made the Cardinals have the most talented offence in the playoffs.

The Cardinals were one of the NFL’s most dominant and most consistent teams with a 13-3 SU and 9-7 ATS record this season, and will now try to carry that success into the postseason.

With Carson Palmer throwing the league’s prettiest deep ball, and Bruce Arians intent on taking deep shots on a whim, the Cardinals’ trio of WRs – Larry Fitzgerald, John Brown, and Michael Floyd — have been superb. The trio combined to haul in 22 of Palmer’s 35 touchdowns. That unit sacked Kirk Cousins six times on Sunday.

The other big name who has been held out the past few weeks is cornerback Sam Shields, who suffered a concussion in week 14 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Cornerback Quinten Rollins, who exited the Washington game with an injured quad, returned to practice.
