T.M. Selection: Green Bay Packers

I like the Green Bay Packers to win this game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. With the loss of superstar WR in Davante Adams, everyone seems to be doubting the Packers this season. People think that the Vikings have a chance to win the division even. Although that loss will hurt, there are some young guns willing to sacrifice and step into the spotlight here this season. Romeo Doubs and Christian Watson, 2 rookies from this past draft, will most likely have a lot on their plate this year. Doubs has looked excellent in preseason though so it shouldn't be a problem for him. Also, the RB duo of AJ Dillon and Aaron Jones is back, in what is one of the best backfield duos in the entire league. Looking at the Vikings, they have some young talent in Justin Jefferson, Dalvin Cook and Lewis Cine, that's for sure. But the rest of their roster is getting pretty "long in the tooth" one might say. QB Kirk Cousins is now 34, FS Harrison Smith is 33 and WR Adam Thielen is now 32. I expect the younger guys of Green Bay to be running circles around this Vikings team in this one. Don't forget, Aaron Rodgers hardly ever loses to divisional opponents in the openings weeks of the season. Especially after getting embarrassed 38-3 in week 1 last season to the Saints, the Packers should be hungrier than ever to pick up the win in this one.

T.M. Prediction: 23-16 Packers
