Packers to win and both teams score 20+ points (+425)
If you’re a believer in Aaron Rodgers then this is the bet for you. Arizona has eclipsed 20 in all but one game this season (they’ve also actually eclipsed 30 in all but one game this year) and since the three-point performance in Week 1, the Packers have known gone over 20 points each of the past six games.
Zach Ertz to score on anytime touchdown (+165)
Zach Ertz looked good in his Cardinals debut. He caught three passes on five targets for 66 yards and a score. He might not be the guy that he once was but he’s proving to be a productive player especially since making the switch over from Philadelphia to the Cardinals. If Ertz were to score tonight that would be three weeks in a row with a touchdown.
