2. Davante Adams will go over 150 yards receiving

The Cardinals will head into this game with the full knowledge that Adams is, by far, Rodgers’ favorite receiving target. That won’t stop the All-Pro wide receiver from racking up over 150 yards receiving when all is said and done.

A secondary prediction here is that Adams will catch at least 10 balls this week. The precise routes he runs combined with his uncanny timing with Rodgers makes him a nightmare to defend on all three levels of the field. In particular, look for Adams to catch a lot of intermediate throws against the Arizona secondary.

That doesn’t mean he won’t pop one big play over the top. The Cardinals are weak at safety and that’s going to show up in a big way against Rodgers and the Green Bay aerial attack. Adams just has too much natural talent not to catch one ball over the top of this mediocre safety duo.

This won’t be the biggest day of Adams’ prolific career, but he’ll be the star receiver for Green Bay on the night. His 10+ catch. 150+ yard performance will go a long way towards earning the Packers a big victory on the national stage.
