5 bold predictions for Packers against Vikings

2. Rashan Gary will force a turnover

Stokes isn’t the only young Packers defender who will force a turnover this week. Gary continues to play better and better football for Green Bay on the edge. He’ll be hunting Cousins early and often on Sunday afternoon.

The bold prediction here is that Gary is going to find a way to produce a strip-sack on the afternoon. He’ll get plenty of chances to rush the passer, but he needs to find a way to hit the Minnesota signal-caller from the blindside if he wants to produce a valuable turnover.

Fortunately, Gary has the juice from the perimeter to wreak havoc from that position. Green Bay’s defensive coaching staff should work diligently to give him more and more opportunities to knife into the opposing backfield as the year progresses.

Gary is the future of the Packers’ pass rush and he’s really starting to turn his potential into production this season. He’ll hammer Cousins on Sunday afternoon and one of those hits is going to force the ball into the hands of he or one of his teammates for a big fumble recovery.
