• The Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals will kickoff Week 8 of the 2021 NFL Season in Glendale, AZ, at 8:20pm ET on Thursday, October 28th

And just like that it’s Week 8 of the 2021 NFL season meaning we are almost halfway home already. Kicking off Week 8 will be the Green Bay Packers and Arizona Cardinals from State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Arizona. Kickoff is set for 8:20pm ET Thursday night on FOX.

The Packers come into this one winners of six straight after beating the Washington Football Team 24-10 in Week 7. Although winning this week will be a tall task as both Davante Adams and Allen Lazard will likely miss this game after being placed on the COVID list. To make matters worse, Green Bay’s opponent, the Arizona Cardinals, is coming into this one undefeated after smoking the Houston Texans 31-5 last week.

As of right now the line on this game is Arizona -6.5 which is up from the -3/-3.5 range before the Adams news broke. The total rests at 50.5 at the moment which is down from the 53-range earlier in the week. Just like every other NFL game, there are plenty of player props to consider.

(Due to the Packers’ instability at the wide receiver position, their skill position players do not have props available at the time of publishing.)

James Conner is Being Disrespected

People thought James Conner was done when he left Pittsburgh in the offseason. At the time, he was coming to Arizona to fill the vacant Kenyan Drake role that offered very little shine. On top of that Chase Edmonds was still here and he seems to fit exactly what the Cardinals use him for.

Fast forward to right now and James Conner is far from done.

People forget that Conner is only 26 years young and there is still gas left in the tank. With so many weapons in Arizona, it’s hard to keep track of everyone. He’s not forced to be the focal point and he has flourished in the role.

Over the past two weeks Conner has really seemed to find his groove rushing for at least 64 yards in each game. He’s getting double digit carries which is important but what’s more important is what he’s doing with those carries. He’s gone for 135 yards with his last 26 carries and he doesn’t seem to be slowing down.

Luckily for Conner he gets a Green Bay Packers’ defense that legitimately can’t stop the run. Only three teams in the entire NFL are worse on a per carry basis and that likely won’t improve this week. The Packers will have a hard time with this offense and I think the Cardinals are likely to play from ahead. If Conner gets 12 carries, he should hit this number.

• The Pick: James Conner Over 48.5 Rushing Yards (-115) – Wager 1.15 unit to win 1 unit
• SBD 2021 NFL Player Props Record: 10-13, -1.93 Units

Packers vs Cardinals Scoring Props

Conner Can Score Too

We absolutely have to have a touchdown scorer prop as they are perfect for prime time games. There’s no better feeling than watching your guy take one across the goal line. It’s pure magic.

We’ve talked a lot about James Conner already so we might as well talk more about his scoring ability.

One thing James Conner has never had a problem doing is finding the end zone. He had a season back in 2018 where he found the end zone 12 times. So far this season he is on pace to at least match that total as he has already found pay dirt six times in the first seven games.

At even money, this feels like a good bet as only five payers in the NFL have more carries inside the five yard line than Conner.

• Pick: James Conner Anytime TD Scorer (+100) – Wager 0.1 units to win 0.1 units
• 2021 Touchdown Scorer prop record: 10-14, +.06 units
