Aaron Rodgers is not going to mess around to start the season. He knows the clock is ticking on his time with the Packers and he also knows how important it is for Green Bay to defeat the Vikings.

Despite the Packers drafting a quarterback in the first round, Rodgers wants to lead the franchise to another Super Bowl. Beating their main competitors for the NFC North would be a nice first step in that direction.

Here are three bold predictions for Rodgers this week against the Vikings.

3. Rodgers Doesn’t Turn The Football Over

Over the past few years, Rodgers has taken care of the football at an elite level. However, the Vikings have a talented and athletic defense, especially with their trade to acquire Yannick Ngakoue from the Jaguars. Rodgers will rise above the Vikings’ defense and will not commit a single turnover.

2. He Will Turn Back The Clock Statistically

Next up, there are questions about what kind of production the Packers should be expecting from Rodgers this season. In Week 1, Rodgers is going to terrorize the Vikings’ young secondary. Rodgers will end up throwing for at least 350-400 yards and three or four touchdowns.

1. The Packers Move To 1-0 With A Win Over The Vikings

Behind the big performance from Rodgers, the Packers are going to take home a win. Minnesota isn’t going to go away, but Green Bay will make the necessary winning plays down the stretch. Rodgers will start his “redemption tour” with a massive performance and a big-time win on the road.
