5 bold predictions for Packers against Steelers

1. Aaron Rodgers will complete 80% of his passes

Rodgers showed a flair from dramatic last week as he drove his offense into field goal range for Mason Crosby’s game-wining field goal. He won’t need to produce any such magic this week to get Green Bay a victory.

He will, however, showcase his devastating accuracy as a passer to help the Packers get out to an insurmountable lead. Look for Rodgers to start the game with an impressive string of consecutive completions that will help him finish the day with a completion percentage north of 80%.

That does mean that LaFLeur is going to give Rodgers some easy throws early on. Davante Adams will be a prime target on short out routes to help keep the chains moving. Balls to Jones out of the backfield early in this game could also help Rodgers boost his completion percentage.

In the end, Rodgers isn’t going to end this game with a ton of passing attempts, but his efficiency will power the Packers to an easy win at home. His efficiency is going to kill off any chances the Steelers have of pulling off an upset in Lambeau.
