NFL week 8 schedule: Packers vs Cardinals, dates, games, times.
The Green Bay Packers and the Arizona Cardinals kick off Week 8 on Thursday, Oct. 28 (8.20 p.m. ET) in what is arguably the best game of the week.
Week 7 of the regular NFL season is over after the Saints beat the Seahawks 13-10 in “Monday Night Football”.
The Bengals vs Jets, Titans vs Colts, 49ers vs Bears and Patriots vs Chargers are among the many intriguing games on Sunday, Oct. 31.
Highlight of the Week: Cardinals host the Packers
And in what is the highlight of the weekend, the Green Bay Packers, who have won six games in a row, will be going up against the only team in the NFC with a better record, the Arizona Cardinals. And we just can’t wait for the classic these two will play on the field.
This will only be the second time this season the Packers go into a game as the underdogs, with the first being in Week 3 against the 49ers, and they have been playing some fine Football.
But the question is, can they hand the Cardinals their first loss of the season?
Packers vs Cardinals (Kick-off 8.20 p.m. ET)
The unbeaten Cardinals, led by star quarterback Kyler Murray, will challenge the Packers on both sides of the football. With their defense that’s well-known for its pass rush, and their dynamic offense that remains undefeated, the Packers will not have it easy this Thursday.

Green Bay has been battling with team injuries this year, and their defense hasn’t been as explosive as in past seasons. But they have been quietly gaining momentum since their 38-3 loss to New Orleans, and their quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been showing some late-game heroics.
Even though Rodgers and the Packers have one of the best receivers in the game, Davante Adams, they might not be lucky enough to play with him on Thursday. Adams has been placed on the COVID-19 list and most likely will not be in the game.
On the flip side, Arizona has another just-as-talented receiver that will be very present at home, DeAndre Hopkins.
The Packers’ defense will have to be perfect against the Cardinals if they want to do something no other team has done so far. This one will be a thriller.
Week 8 will wrap up with The New York Giants and Kansas City Chiefs on “Monday Night Football” on Nov. 1st. Check the full Week 8 schedule below:
