Packers schedule: 4 games Aaron Rodgers would win, but Jordan Love won’t
By John Buhler
3. Week 10: at Pittsburgh Steelers (Sunday, Nov. 12)
Nestled in between games against the two L.A. teams, the Packers will make a trek to Western P.A. to face those pesky Pittsburgh Steelers. It may be a road game, but the Mike Tomlin Steelers have a bad reputation of playing with their food and downright overlooking an opponent they think they are better than at home. It is why they could still lose this one anyway, but hear me out.
As with the Chargers game, it is all about quarterback matchup. If it is Love vs. Kenny Pickett, it is probably a push. Had Rodgers been the Packers’ starting quarterback, well, Green Bay would have the decided advantage in that department. Quarterback is the one position where it can make all the difference in tight, hard-fought battles like we would probably expect for this one to go here.
Even though Love is blessed to play in front of the best home crowds in Lambeau, Yinzers will pack Acrisure Stadium to the brim, slinging their terrible towels like there is no tomorrow. Because Love did not play Power Five college football, this will be a hostile road environment he in no way will be used to. Factor in this stadium being where Pickett played college ball at, and there you go.
Love wouldn’t lose by much, but every precious road win you can get counts ushering in a new era.
