Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers are set for a huge Week 8 matchup with the NFL's last undefeated team, the Los Angeles Rams. While the Packers have a lot of talent on their roster, they have been struggling in a big way this year. Heading into this week's game, the Packers are just 3-2-1.
The Rams, on the other hand, are 7-0 and have looked nearly unbeatable this season. They are coming off of a 39-10 beatdown of the San Francisco 49ers last week. Green Bay's last game was also against the 49ers, but it took them a miraculous comeback to win 33-30.
ESPN reported that the Packers are the biggest underdogs this week than they have ever been in Rodgers' career. That alone should tell just how tough this game is going to be for Green Bay.
Per BetOnline.ag, they are 9-point road underdogs against the Rams
Needless to say, the Packers would be making a huge statement if they could head into Los Angelse and upset the Rams.
Mike McCarthy and company have been very confident that Aaron Rodgers and company can get things back on track. Even with the struggles and unrest that the team has had, they believe that they have a roster capable of helping them compete in the NFC.
Los Angeles is going to be the toughest test that the Packers face all season long. Slowing down Todd Gurley is going to be a nightmare and Jared Goff has been playing a confident brand of football this season as well.
If they want to have any chance at coming through with an upset, they need Rodgers to play his best game and the defense to get pressure on Goff. Hopefully, the pressure will force a couple mistakes and the Packers' secondary can capitalize on them and force some turnovers.
That being said, the Packers could end up being dominated on both sides of the ball and run out of L.A. with a big loss.
