Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are set to take on the Carolina Panthers this Sunday in an attempt to get their season back on track after a rough loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Coming into this week's game, the Packers have a 7-2 record and are still one of the top Super Bowl contenders in the NFL.

There are quite a few who think the Panthers will head into Lambeau Field and take down the Packers. While that may end up being the case, the Packers are the better team. Green Bay looks better on paper and they have more talent.

That being said, Carolina should not be taken lightly. This is not going to be an easy game and the Packers cannot afford to have a hangover to start the game like they did last week.

Let's go ahead and dive in to take a look at three bold predictions for the Packers in their matchup this week against the Panthers.

3. The Packers Sack Kyle Allen Four Times, Force Two Turnovers

The defensive side of the football has been lacking a bit since the first few weeks of the season. Green Bay has one of the best pass rushing duos in the league in Preston and Za'Darius Smith and there are plenty of playmakers on the defense outside of them. Now, they need to put up big numbers against Kyle Allen and the Panthers.

A statement will be made this week by Green Bay. They will come through with at least four sacks and will also force two turnovers. That kind of a defensive performance will put them in a good position to win this football game.

2. Aaron Jones Racks Up 150 Total Yards, Two Touchdowns

Next up, the Packers need to focus on getting Aaron Jones more involved than they did last week. Against the Chargers, Jones ended up with just eight carries for 30 yards and one reception for negative one yards. Those numbers are not what the team needs from their rising star running back.

Jones needs to break out with another big performance and that is exactly what he will do. When everything is said and done, he will rack up 150 total yards and two scores. Green Bay's offense will look much better with Jones doing his thing.

1. Aaron Rodgers Has Another MVP-Caliber Performance In A Big Win

We'll go ahead and make two bold predictions in the same point. Rodgers is going to have a huge game after suffering through a rough performance last week. He will throw for at least 300 yards and a couple of touchdowns.

Due to his performance and the team stepping up after an embarrassing loss last week, the Packers are going to win this football game. They will improve to 8-2 on the season, while the Panthers will fall to 5-4. It should be an entertaining game, but Green Bay is going to get the job done.
