GREEN BAY (-8) vs Chicago

Mitch Trubisky will be back under center on Sunday night his 5.4 yards per pass play this season is actually higher than Nick Foles’ 5.2 yppp. Thus, there is no adjustment for the change at quarterback. Packers’ elite CB Jaire Alexander held Adam Thielen, Calvin Ridley, Mike Evans, and Will Fuller to a combined 5.5 yards per target in shadow coverage so far this season and I’m expecting Alexander to shut down Allen Robinson on Sunday night.

With all the focus on Davante Adams, Allen Lazard has a chance to exploit Chicago’s defense in the slot. Lazard is averaging 13.0 yards per target this season but has only played in 4 games. Buster Skrine is surrendering 1.51 yards per slot cover snap, which ranks 22nd out of 27 qualifying nicklebacks and he is currently being hampered by an ankle injury. Rodgers will need to utilize Lazard on underneath routes because Chicago’s defense is conceding just 5 yards per target to opposing RBs and Roquan Smith will likely limit Aaron Jones from catching passes out of the backfield. Interior defender Akiem Hicks ranks 9th in pass rushing efficiency but he didn’t practice all week and remains questionable for Sunday night’s game. Packers center Corey Linsley has allowed a league-low 2 pressures all season and he will help contain Hicks if the interior defender is cleared to play.

Our model favors the Packers by 8.3 points, with a predicted total of 46.7 points.
