The Green Bay Packers are favorites to win against the Chicago Bears in their Week 15 matchup. Green Bay is one of the highly rated teams that can perform well against many of the better defenders in the NFL. Chicago is the last thing fans think of when it comes to a decent team in the league, so the Packers are sure feeling good heading into this game.
However, there are still things that can shock fans in spite of the seemingly lopsided game. Certain Packers can either show up or drop off. As football games can wind up to different places, one cannot be entirely sure that a certain player will perform well or poorly.
Aaron Rodgers will throw 300 yards
Aaron Rodgers has played good football this season. He's converting a lot of touchdowns and defenders are finding it hard to get him to throw an interception. He's the consummate quarterback and will be a constant threat for the Chicago defense to try and contain.
However, there's one thing Rodgers hasn't done for a long time, and that's to throw for more than 300 passing yards. The last time he did it was in Week 8 against the Kansas City Chiefs where he completed 305 passing yards.
He will want to replicate that performance not only because it will be a nice addition to his season stats. With the playoffs near, Rodgers will want to be in his best condition. Throwing for 300 will help put him in the right direction.
Davante Adams will record two receiving touchdowns
Davante Adams has been one of the more impressive wide receivers for the Packers this season. The 27-year-old wideout is leading the team with his 685 yards. He's definitely going to rack up more yards against the Bears.
However, a noticeable facet that is missing from his game is his effectiveness in the red zone. He's only tallied three touchdowns this season, far way less than the 13 he completed for the Packers last season.
It will do a lot of good for his confidence if he manages to get two touchdowns. It will also be in the Packers' best interests if leading receiver gets a confidence boost. Expect to see more red zone plays crafted for Adams this game.
The Packers will win by two touchdowns
The Packers have won a lot of their games this season, but not a lot of them are dominant displays. Their inability to dominate over teams they should be winning over puts a huge question mark on their effectiveness once the playoffs come rolling.
One sure way to boost the team's confidence and chemistry is to win by 14 points. The Packers have the superior playmakers and should be able to make this possible.
