1. Aaron Jones will run for over 100 yards

Jones finished last week with just 59 rushing yards on 15 attempts but he’s going to enjoy more success on Sunday. 20 or so carries with over 100 yards or production should be the minimum expectation for the veteran running back this week.

The key for Jones, as always, will be to break into the second level of the Kansas City defense without being touched. When he’s permitted to attack linebackers and defensive backs at full speed he can churn out yards at a very impressive clip.

Green Bay’s offensive line isn’t perfect, but they’ve got enough juice to push the Chiefs’ front-seven backward at the line of scrimmage. That’s bad news for a Kansas City team that is desperate for a big win.

Next. Texans front office continues to show incompetence. dark

Jones may not produce yards consistently via the run in this game, but he’ll break a couple of 20+ yard rushes against the Chiefs’ questionable front. Those big plays will push Jones over the century mark on the ground in another big win for his team.
