Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers
Bold Prediction 1: Aaron Rodgers will throw for at least 250 yards and throw four touchdowns
The Packers’ offense has become a run-first offense. However, Aaron Rodgers will be the go-to guy this week. The Vikings’ corners do not have much experience and this is an area Green Bay can capitalize during this NFC North rivalry matchup.
While the Packers do not have a star second receiver, they have three quality options in Allen Lazard, Marquez Valdes-Scantling, and Equanimeous St. Brown. All three are big red-zone targets. Look for Rodgers to try and expose these young corners in the red-zone.
Bold Prediction 2: Aaron Rodgers will lead a game winning drive
The Packers vs. Vikings rivalry is full of classic games and could be vital in deciding the winner of the NFC North in 2020. This will be one of them. Both Green Bay and Minnesota are very evenly matched. Although many claim Rodgers lost a step, he will prove he is still elite in Week 1.
Aaron Rodgers is going to lead a two-minute drive and secure the victory for Green Bay.
Final Word: Aaron Rodgers is an elder-statesman in the NFL now. He already has a Hall of Fame resume. However, many believe that Rodgers still needs another Super Bowl to truly go down as one of the games top quarterbacks. This season will be very important for Rodgers’ legacy.
