Green Bay Packers vs Minnesota Vikings Game Preview

Why Green Bay Packers Will Win

The Packers have the defense to hold up against what’s coming.

While everyone in the NFC North is trying to get more pop to the attack, Green Bay has bee beefing up the other side. That’s about to pay off with a great group of corners in a pass defense that’s going to take the ball away in bunches.

The high-powered receivers might not be there with Davante Adams living his best life in Vegas, Aaron Rodgers isn’t going to turn the ball over, he’ll manage the game just fine, and the defense should be able to take care of the rest.

Week 1 CFN NFL Expert Picks

Why Minnesota Vikings Will Win

Are you buying into the new offense, the new coaching staff, and all the high-powered big things about to come with all of it?

Head coach Kevin O’Connell and offensive coordinator Wes Phillips are going to open it up more, and the weapons are there to do it.

Justin Jefferson doesn’t get quite enough love in a league that gushes over top receivers, but he’s about to take his stats and game up a few notches.

Kirk Cousins is better than you think – really, do the side-by-side stat comparison with the reigning MVP on the other side – and there’s a chance Minnesota just comes out and cranks up too much offense for Green Bay to keep up.

Week 1 NFL Schedule, Predictions, Game Previews

What’s Going To Happen

Minnesota will be flashier, the big plays will be there, and Cousins will put up big numbers …

And then 12 will have the ball late and he’ll pull this out of the fire.

It’ll be more of a slow-and-steady-wins-the-race thing for the Packers. A good mix of the ground game, tempo, clock possession, and third down conversions will overcome the haymakers from the other side.

Green Bay won’t be as exciting, but it’ll still look and play like the star of the North.

Aaron Rodgers already impressed with Packers rookie WR Romeo Doubs

One of the Green Bay Packers’ rookie wide receivers is already drawing high praise from Aaron Rodgers in training camp

The Green Bay Packers passed on a wide receiver with both of their first-round picks in the 2022 NFL draft, then traded up to the top of the second round of North Dakota State’s Christian Watson, but it’s a fourth-round pass-catcher who is stealing the headlines in training camp.

Romeo Doubs has made some head-turning plays in practice, which has clearly impressed Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

“That’s kind of rare for a young guy,” Rodgers said Wednesday about Doubs’ ability to make “wow” plays during his first training camp (via The Athletic’s Matt Schneidman).

Doubs was a big-play machine at Nevada, and without Davante Adams, the Packers would love to get plenty of them from their rookie fourth-rounder this season and beyond.

NFL Letdown Games for Every Team

What are the potential letdown games for every NFL team? They’re the battles that should be a problem.

What games are the ones each NFL team has to look out for? It’s a LONG season with plenty of lulls, so which games are set up to be a letdown moment for every team?

Predicting each outcome takes into account location, scheduling fatigue, matchup intensity, and much more. These are the games – including the sandwich battles between two giant opponents – that each team should probably win, but might have issues.

2022 NFL Schedules

Quay Walker already soaking up knowledge from De’Vondre Campbell

Green Bay Packers first-round pick Quay Walker has found a valuable resource in new teammate De’Vondre Campbell

The Green Bay Packers rewarded one of last year’s best free-agent bargains when they signed linebacker De’Vondre Campbell to a new contract extension this offseason, and they further reinforced that same position group by selecting Georgia’s Quay Walker in the first round of the 2022 NFL draft.

While Walker brings an impressive blend of size and athleticism to the table, Campbell’s experience is providing the rookie a valuable resource to learn from in his first training camp.

The former Bulldog star recently spoke about his efforts to soak up anything and everything he can from his veteran teammate, as the Packers prepare for another deep playoff run this season:

Why Packers fans should be excited about Christian Watson

Breaking down what North Dakota State wide receiver Christian Watson brings to the Green Bay Packers

After spending both of their first-round picks in the 2022 NFL draft on Georgia defenders, the Green Bay Packers made a bold move to trade up to the top of the second round, landing an explosive pass-catcher to help replace Davante Adams.

North Dakota State’s Christian Watson brings a rare combination of size and speed to a passing offense that just lost its top two receivers in Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling, giving Aaron Rodgers a dynamic weapon that he desperately needs.

After dominating FCS competition in college, Watson crushed the NFL Scouting Combine. He measured in at 6-4 and 208 pounds, then proceeded to run a 4.36-second 40-yard dash, showing off impressive speed to go along with his big frame and long arms.

While Watson still has some rough edges to smooth out in his game, his physical traits give him limitless upside, especially with a quarterback like Rodgers throwing him the ball. Rodgers has the arm strength to take full advantage of Watson’s ability to stretch the field, and his combination of size and speed should make him effective after the catch, turning short receptions into big plays.

After the departures of Adams and MVS this offseason, Watson should get plenty of opportunities to make an immediate impact for Green Bay as they look to remain among the NFC contenders for the Super Bowl in 2022.

Romeo Doubs thrilled to join historic line of Packers receivers

Green Bay Packers rookie wide receiver Romeo Doubs is well aware of his new team’s history of legendary pass-catchers

The Green Bay Packers made headlines when they traded up to the top of the second round in the 2022 NFL draft to land North Dakota State wide receiver Christian Watson, but they also landed another promising pass-catcher on Day 3 who could make a big impact.

Romeo Doubs, a fourth-round pick out of Nevada, brings a well-rounded skill set and a pro-ready frame to Green Bay, where he knows there’s a long history of legendary wide receivers that set the bar high for the next generation.

Here’s what Doubs had to say about some of the great Packers receivers he’s watched over the years:

After trading Davante Adams and letting Marquez Valdes-Scantling walk in free agency this offseason, the Packers will need the likes of Doubs and Watson to make an immediate impact for Aaron Rodgers and the passing game this season.

Traditionally and statistically, Day 3 of the NFL Draft is a total wasteland. You’re far, far better packaging your picks to move up into the top three rounds of a future draft – the odds of getting a consistently decent starter are shockingly small.

But every team thinks it can make magic out of the Day 3 mess of prospects, and it’s worth a shot to dumb-luck into a possible mainstay. What are the remaining needs that need to be filled for each team? Here are every team’s picks so far with the possibilities of who they could get.

Of course this all blows up once the trades start flying, but the idea is to give a rough snapshot of what each team might be able to do.
