4. Amari Rodgers will break a 40+ yard kick return

The Packers are still waiting for Rodgers to become a reliable wide receiver, but he is already making a significant impact on their special teams. He is the team’s top kick returner and managed to give his squad 38 yards on three returns against the Rams two weeks ago.

The diminutive playmaker hasn’t broken a long return yet this season, but that’s going to change against Chicago. He’s overdue to turn his combination of shiftiness and speed into a big play for his special teams unit.

This will be the week where he makes a guy or two miss and turns on the jets to rack up big yards. He may not get all the way to the end zone, but he is going to flip the field for the Packers. Rodgers could be the guy who turns this game into a blowout with a big kick return during the first quarter.

The Bears have a lot of Packers’ weapons to worry about but they can’t afford to sleep on Rodgers. Giving him a sliver of space could cost them big yards and possibly six points.
