Today's best bet: Green Bay Packers (pick) over ARIZONA CARDINALS

When it comes to the NFL playoffs, I like going with the hot team, and that's the Green Bay Packers. Winners of seven of their last eight games, they have been a covering machine the past two months. The Cardinals boast a high-powered offense, but the Packers can match them TD for TD. Since November, the Cardinals have beaten only one team with a winning record.
