The Packers head to Cincinnati on Sunday looking for their fourth consecutive win. Here are 5 bold predictions for how Green Bay will secure victory.

Green Bay’s Week 1 loss to the Saints feels like a distant memory since the Packers have righted their ship with three consecutive wins. Now Aaron Rodgers and his teammates will turn their attention on extending their win streak to four in a row at the Bengals on Sunday afternoon.

It’s another game the Packers should be able to handle. Rodgers and the Green Bay offense will be tested by the Bengals’ competitive defense, but they should be able to put up points in the end. The real question in this game is whether or not Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati offense can light up the Packers’ defense.

A high-scoring affair could easily be in the offing this week for Green Bay. Read on to discover five bold predictions on how the Packers can secure a valuable road victory.

5. Amari Rodgers will catch three passes

Rodgers caught one ball in the opening season route against New Orleans but has mainly featured as a punt returner since then. The wide-open nature of this game gives him a chance to make his mark as Green Bay’s fourth wideout.

The former third-round pick isn’t going to suddenly break out as a star in this game, but he’ll catch at least three passes from Rodgers. That should be an important step in his long-term development. If he can produce some solid yards after the catch it should also help his case for more playing time in future weeks.
