Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers enter Week 11 with an 8-2 record after knocking off the Seattle Seahawks last week by a final score of 17-0. Being able to shut out an offense led by star quarterback Russell Wilson was impressive, even if Wilson was coming off of an injury that forced him to miss quite a bit of time. It was a win that further proved that the Packers should be viewed as one of the main front-runners to win the Super Bowl this season. Nonetheless, in this specific post, we're looking at our Aaron Rodgers Week 11 predictions.
Now, the Packers are focused on their Week 11 matchup against the NFC North arch-rival Minnesota Vikings. This is a game that gives Green Bay a chance to slam the door shut on a potential race between the Vikings and Green Bay in the division.
Looking ahead to Sunday's matchup, the Packers are dealing with quite a few injury issues. Star running back Aaron Jones will miss the game due to a knee injury, which will put A.J. Dillon in the workhorse role. Also, more pressure will fall on Rodgers and the passing game.
Green Bay has continued winning despite the injuries that are beginning to pile up. They have seen Za'Darius Smith, Jaire Alexander, Whitney Mercilus, Robert Tonyan, and more go down with injuries and miss time. However, the Packers are hoping that Smith and Alexander will be able to return to the field in the near future.
David Bakhtiari has yet to play a game for the Packers this season as he recovers from a torn ACL suffered at the end of last season. The good news is that Green Bay will be getting their superstar left tackle back on the field soon, possibly as early as this week against the Vikings.
All of that being said, let's look at our Aaron Rodgers Week 11 predictions.
Aaron Rodgers Week 11 Predictions
3. The Reigning MVP Will Not Turn The Ball Over
Last week, Packers fans saw Rodgers make a very rare mistake. He made a bad pass in the end zone that was picked off by Seahawks' star safety Jamal Adams. So far this season, he has thrown four interceptions. While he has not turned the ball over much this season, he isn't going to begin this week either.
Rodgers has always been elite when it comes to the turnover battle. The most interceptions he has thrown in a single season is 13 back in the 2008 NFL season. Throughout his entire career, Rodgers has only thrown 10 interceptions or more in two seasons.
Green Bay has a major luxury with a quarterback that takes care of the football as well as Rodgers. Fans should not take that for granted. But, once again this week, Rodgers will be perfect when it comes to taking care of the ball.
2. He Torches The Vikings For 350 Yards, Four Touchdowns
So far this season, the Packers have not seen the MVP version of Rodgers that they saw last season. He has completed 66.4 percent of his pass attempts for 2,186 yards, 17 touchdowns, and four interceptions. Those aren't bad numbers, but they certainly aren't MVP-caliber numbers either.
This week against the Vikings, Rodgers will come out firing. Minnesota's secondary will stand no chance against a motivated Rodgers. We are predicting that he will rack up at least 350 passing yards and four touchdowns through the air.
The scary part of the Packers' success this season for the rest of the NFL is that Rodgers hasn't even played his best football. If he does turn it on and begins firing on all cylinders, Green Bay will be even more dangerous. Rodgers will begin that level of play this week.
1. Rodgers Leads The Packers To A Big-Time Victory
For those who think the Vikings will surprise the Packers and make the NFC North an intriguing race, this is a game that will disappoint you. Green Bay has come out as an all-business team this season. They are focused only on winning the Super Bowl and they have not shown signs of being a pretender by any stretch.
Behind a massive game from Rodgers, the Packers are going to dominate this week's game against the Vikings from start to finish. They also have a defense that is beginning to play at an elite level. Minnesota will put up as much of a fight as they can, but it won't be enough.
Green Bay will end up winning this game by a final score of 38-24. The Vikings may score some points late to make it a closer game, but the Packers will send another message to the rest of the NFL. With Rodgers back playing at an MVP level, this team is a squad that no one will want to face the rest of the way.
