Rotation #332
Packers -7 over Rams (win)
Tonight’s game at Lambeau Field will be under 20 degrees and showcase a Rams team not used to this type of weather. Last week Baker Mayfield saved the day with two scores against the Raiders in under 4 minutes. Mayfield’s heroics are now on everyone’s mind, but on my mind is how badly he played for 56 minutes in that game. Mayfield has been in LA for less than two weeks, and today, the Packers had a whole week to prepare. The Green Bay playoff chances are slim, but they still have a path and will fight until the door closes. The Rams had an awful year just months after winning the last Super Bowl. Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson being on IR make it hard for them to throw the ball deep. Running back Cam Akers wasn’t even getting along with team management and was forced into the number-one spot when Darrell Henderson was released. In simple terms, the Rams are a mess. Green Bay is far from a great team, but they don’t have the injuries or the issues the Rams have. The weather for tonight’s game favors Green Bay. Look for the struggling Aaron Rodgers to give the fans their money’s worth this evening. Take the Packers.
