The Green Bay Packers are set to face off against the Minnesota Vikings in NFL Week 17 action. What five bold predictions can be made for the game and what should fan be on the lookout for throughout the game?
1. Aaron Rodgers Breaks Out with a Massive Performance
Even though Aaron Rodgers has struggled at times this season, he is still the best quarterback in the NFL and that will show this week. Green Bay needs their quarterback to come through with a big game and that is exactly what he will do. Rodgers will break out with a massive performance this week and will help his offense put up numbers throughout the game.
2. Adrian Peterson Records at Least 125 Yards, Two Touchdowns
Green Bay has to find a way to stop Adrian Peterson, but that will not happen this week. He will record at least 125 yards and two touchdowns and will put his team in a position to pull off a huge road victory if they make the necessary plays down the stretch. Peterson is still the best running back in the NFL and is well on his way to yet another rushing title.
3. Eddie Lacy Gets Things Going with a 100-Yard Game
One of the big question marks for the Packers is whether or not Eddie Lacy can get his season going again. He has struggled all year long, but will come through with a 100-yard game this week against the Vikings. Lacy is a huge key for the Green Bay offense and hopefully will get things figured out heading into the postseason.
4. Minnesota Turns Over the Football at Least Three Times
Minnesota needs to take care of the football this week to have a chance at winning, but they are going to turn it over at least three times. Green Bay has a much better defense than they have had in quite some time and that will show this week. It will be difficult for the Vikings to bounce back from the turnovers, but if their defense can force a turnover or two there is always a chance.
5. Green Bay Comes Through with a Big Win to Clinch the NFC North
Playing at Lambeau Field is a major advantage for the Packers and they are the better team when they play to their potential. Rodgers will rally the troops this week and the Packers will come through with a big win to clinch the NFC North. Minnesota will still be a threat in the playoffs, but this isn't the year that they will overtake Green Bay in the division.
