The Green Bay Packers head into Saturday night's playoff matchup at the Arizona Cardinals with the sting of their 38-8 loss to the Cards three weeks ago still hanging over their heads.
But that doesn't mean the Packers are doubting their ability to even the score with the Cards -- and that includes their fans, many of whom call Arizona home.
"Most of the (previously injured) offensive line is back, which is a good thing. I don't think Aaron Rodgers is going to get sacked eight times (again)," said Dave Smith, a Wisconsin native and owner of Casey Jones Grill, a popular Packers sports bar in Phoenix.
"I think it's going to be a tough game. It's going to be a close game, but I think the Packers are going to do it."

Smith thinks Rodgers, the reigning NFL MVP, will have a much better day than he did in his previous visit to the Valley.
"He's going to have a fun game. He's going to be smiling on the field," he said.
It's not a surprise that other Packers fans feel the same way -- and one fan predicted the Cards will have a difficult time hearing quarterback Carson Palmer on Saturday, as they expect University of Phoenix Stadium to be packed with thousands of faithful Cheesehead fans.
