The 1-0 Packers, coming off a 14-win season, take on the 0-1 Lions, coming off a 3-win season. But this is a division game and division games are always tougher than we think. With a limited sample size, let’s make some predictions for this week.
Aaron Rodgers Keeps Going Off
After one week, it appears that the secret Rodgers remembered from his 2010 film was about setting his base and throwing in rhythm, especially over the middle. His 2018 year was wrecked by a knee injury and 2019 looked like his mechanics were still off after compensating for the injury. I thought he may have been forever changed, but last week was the first time it looked like he had corrected his form and got back to his bad-ass unstoppable self.
Davante Adams Feasts

Lions Fans Whine About The Refs
This is the easiest prediction I will make all year.
Final Score: Packers 34, Lions 29
