5 keys to Packers beating Buccaneers in Week 3

What do the Packers need to do to beat the Bucs on Sunday? (Insert score more points joke.) Here are the keys to victory.

The Green Bay Packers have an opportunity to make a major statement early in the 2022 season when Matt LaFleur’s team takes the field against the unbeaten Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday afternoon at Raymond James Stadium.

Can the Packers continue putting Week 1 in the rear-view mirror, build off last week’s win over the Bears and take down Tom Brady and the Bucs on the road?

Last year, the Packers got whooped on the road in the season opener, rebounded with a decisive win at home over an NFC North opponent and then scored a huge victory on the road against the 49ers. Green Bay can continue copying the script in 2022 with a win in Tampa Bay, where temps are forecasted to be in the mid 80s.

Here are five keys to the Packers beating the Buccaneers on Sunday:

Five keys to a Wisconsin victory over Minnesota this weekend

Wisconsin and Minnesota are set for a battle for Paul Bunyan’s Axe that, as it did in 2019, will likely decide the winner of the Big Ten West.

Wisconsin wins the division with a win Saturday, Iowa wins with a win over Nebraska + Minnesota win over Wisconsin, Minnesota wins with a win over Wisconsin + Nebraska win over Iowa and, finally, Wisconsin wins with a loss to Minnesota + Nebraska win over Iowa + Indiana win over Purdue.

To simplify the complex: Wisconsin likely needs to win Saturday to clinch the West for the third time in five years.

It’s an intriguing matchup on the surface level. Both teams rely heavily on the run game to create offense and both defenses are good against the run (Wisconsin obviously on a different level of good).

Here are five keys to Wisconsin winning its eighth-straight game and booking a trip to Indianapolis:

5 things we need to see from Wisconsin against Eastern Michigan on Saturday

Wisconsin’s gut-wrenching 16-10 loss to Penn State is now officially in the rear-view, as the team looks ahead to Saturday’s matchup with Eastern Michigan.

Usually, I’d be here with five keys to a Wisconsin victory. However, with the opponent being Eastern Michigan (not a good football team) and with what we saw last weekend, instead we’re focusing on five things we need to see from the Badgers in order to be confident in where they stand as a team.

Saturday’s loss to Penn State saw a lot of good signs from the Badgers. The defense was dominant, Chez Mellusi looked like a No. 1 back and the offense did move the ball well against a good Penn State defense.

But a loss is a loss, and with how the Badgers handed that game away there is a lot we need to see change moving forward.

I believe this is still a really good football team, I just need to see all five of these things happen in order for me to remain confident:
