1. Aaron Rodgers throws for over 400 yards, 3 TDs

Rodgers may be playing on basically one leg, but the fact is that he’s still an elite quarterback. Because of this, the Redskins are going to struggle to contain him on Sunday.

Rodgers has a plethora of weapons that he will be able to use against the Redskins defense including Davante Adams, Randall Cobb, Geronimo Allison, and Jimmy Graham. Given that the most inexperienced part of this team is their secondary — Quinton Dunbar and Fabian Moreau have only been starters for this season — the Redskins will have trouble matching up against all of those players.

It’s also worth noting that Rodgers generally has a quick release and will likely try to get the ball out even quicker as long as he’s injured. That will make the already struggling Washington pass rush have trouble putting pressure on him, and that will give him more of an opportunity to surgically take apart the ‘Skins defense.

If Rodgers has a good game, it won’t surprise anybody. But if he puts up monster numbers like 400-plus passing yards and three scores, then the Redskins are going to go into the bye with a lot to work on ahead of their matchup with Drew Brees. Either way, expect Rodgers to go off against the Redskins in Week 3.
