With the 2020 NFL season just a week away, it’s time to begin looking at the Week 1 schedule. Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers will get off to a challenging start, taking on the division rival Minnesota Vikings on the road.
Obviously, this is a big game for a Week 1 matchup. Both teams are expected to be playoff contenders in the NFC and are expected to be the top two teams in the NFC North. This game could come into play at the end of the year to decide who takes the division.
Rodgers has gone through a crazy offseason full of rumors, criticism, and the Packers drafting a quarterback in the first round of the NFL Draft. He has been called “washed up” and “no longer elite” by quite a few members of the media. It’s time for him to shut up all of the critics once again.
Green Bay has also been talked about as a team that could take a major step back. They finished 13-3 in the regular season last year and made a run to the NFC Championship Game. Some even think they could miss the playoffs.
All of that being said, let’s dive in and take a look at three bold predictions for Aaron Rodgers in Week 1 when the Packers take on the Vikings.
