3 Bold Predictions for Aaron Rodgers in Return From COVID

Aaron Rodgers will return from the COVID-19 list against the Seattle Seahawks as 3-point favorites on Sunday afternoon as they look to keep pace atop the NFC.

Will Rodgers be able to shake off the rust quickly and get the Packers back on track against a middling Seahawks defense? Here are three bold predictions for No. 12 on Sunday, with odds from WynnBET Sportsbook.

Aaron Rodgers OVER 36.5 Passing Attempts (-115)

I believe the game plan for Green Bay on Sunday is going to revolve around the passing game.

The Seahawks rush defense has been great this season, top ten in rush success rate, so I expect the Packers to pick on a Seattle secondary that is 19th in EPA per dropback.

Rodgers has 36 pass attempts in four of eight games this season, and with a pass-heavy game script, I like him to reach 40.

Aaron Rodgers OVER 2.5 Passing Touchdowns (+145)

Many will talk about the weather in this matchup and how snow is going to make this game difficult for Rodgers, but snow is typically not predictive of a low scoring game, so I'll take a stab at a high scoring affair with two elite quarterbacks on the field.

The Packers are top 10 in both EPA per dropback and success rate, and this price is enticing given that I see Green Bay finding the end zone several times in this matchup. As I mentioned above, the Seahawks have a great rush defense but a vulnerable pass defense, so there is reason to believe Rodgers can put up a vintage performance with heavy usage.

Aaron Rodgers Anytime TD Scorer + Packers Win +650

Rodgers has two rushing touchdowns on the year, and maybe I'm playing the narrative game but I think he's going to be motivated to make a statement after missing last week. If the Packers get close, I believe Rodgers is going to be keeping it and find the end zone himself.

As for the game, I do think the Packers pull out a close one with the Seahawks weak secondary. I'm not comfortable laying the points with Russell Wilson back for the Seahawks. Wilson is 21-11-2 as a road underdog, so it's not a great idea to fade him in this spot, but I do see Green Bay getting in the win column at home.
