    The Green Bay Packers are just more talented than the Arizona Cardinals.

    The Green Bay Packers are heavily to favored to beat the Arizona Cardinals this week. 

    Just how favored, you ask? Ali Bhanpuri, Tom Blair, Brooke Cersosimo, Gennaro Filice and Dan Parr of NFL.com all picked the Packers to defeat the Cardinals in Week 7. 

    Green Bay is 3-1-1 on the season, while Arizona is 2-4.

    The Cardinals may have to start backup Jacoby Brissett again, as starting QB Kyler Murray is questionable to play. 

    The Packers have more talent on both sides of the ball. While anything can happen in the NFL -- we already saw Green Bay lose to the Cleveland Browns this season -- it would shock many people around the league if the Cardinals found a way to upset the cheese heads this week. 

    After all, Green Bay has one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL, led by star QB Jordan Love. 

    "Love and Co. have scored 27-plus points in four of their five games, rank eighth in yards per play and lead the league in third-down conversion percentage," Bhanpuri wrote. "Stranger things have happened already this season (to Green Bay, alone), but the Packers are comfortably the more trustworthy outfit in this matchup."

    Love has nine passing touchdowns and two interceptions on the season. He's completing 70.1% of his passes. The 26-year-old has thrown for 1,259 yards in five games for the Packers.

    Love is healthy again, so he's been able to use his legs more this season to escape pass rushers and throw on the move, something he spoke about after Week 6. 

    "It puts that extra layer of pressure on the defense," Love said. "That's something that I had to focus on coming into the season was trying to use my legs more and extend some of these plays."

    Upsets can happen anytime in the NFL, so the Packers can't overlook the Cardinals. If Brissett starts again, Micah Parsons could have a huge day, as Brissett isn't as athletic or mobile as Murray. 

    Brett Favre won a title with the Packers. So did Aaron Rodgers. Love is under major pressure to win at least one championship in Green Bay since his predecessors reached the promised land. 

    The Packers are currently in first place in the NFC North. Love and Co. face Rodgers on October 26. It will be the first time Rodgers faces his old team since getting traded to the New York Jets.
