2. Quarterback: Aaron Rodgers vs. New England Patriots

Aaron Rodgers is doing his usual thing this season despite playing with injuries. We don’t see him slowing down against a New England Patriots offense that has allowed 382 total yards per game to opposing offenses. Their pass defense is 27th-ranked in the league. It’s safe to say we have ourselves a barn burner in the making.

It’s no secret that the Green Bay Packers defense has made some mistakes. Surprisingly they are 12th-ranked, respectively. Tom Brady always finds a way to carve up any defense despite their overall ranking. This Sunday Night Football matchup will be an exciting game to watch. Rodgers should have a decent game under the lights in New England.

Rodgers, after a semi-slow start due to injury, has come along nicely in recent weeks. Throwing for 442 yards and three touchdowns against the Detroit Lions, 425 yards and two touchdowns against the San Francisco 49ers and more importantly when up against the Los Angeles Rams stout defense throwing for 286 yards and another touchdown.

After breaking out for over 300 yards in Week 6, Rodgers hasn’t looked back. This week should be another 400 yard, three touchdown kind of game. This is the worst defense Rodgers has faced all season. In whatever format you play in, whether it’s season long leagues or DFS, take full advantage of Rodgers matchup this week.

Prediction: 425 passing yards, 4 touchdowns
