5 bold predictions for Packers against Bears

3. Khalil Mack will sack Aaron Rodgers twice

The Bengals only got to Rodgers twice last week, but both sacks were tallied by defensive end Trey Hendrickson. That makes it pretty clear that Green Bay’s offensive line is still struggling to handle pressure generated from the edge.

That’s music to Khalil Mack’s ears. The Bears defender was really good against the Raiders last week and finished the game with one sack. This Sunday he’s going to double that production by getting to Aaron Rodgers on two separate occasions.

The good news for Green Bay’s offense is that Mack is by far the biggest pass-rushing threat they need to concern themselves with. Their front can handle the rest of Chicago’s front-seven the vast majority of the time.

As such, Mack will enjoy a high-quality individual performance but it won’t be enough to really slow down the Packers’ passing attack. He’ll end the day frustrated with how little help he receives from his defensive teammates.
