The Green Bay Packers are looking to jump to a 3-0 start as they welcome the Kansas City Chiefs to Lambeau Field for a Monday Night matchup.
KC plays too conservative for my liking and I expect them to fall into a hole against the high powered GB Packers on MNF.
The Packers enter the week as the top ranked team in the Power ratings with the Chiefs checking in at the #9 spot.
In his last 17 home games, Rodgers has thrown for 41 touchdowns and zero interceptions on 512 pass attempts.
Rodgers has completed 77% of his passes through two contests and the Packers are 5th in points scored, averaging 29 a game. Eddie Lacy is battling a sprained ankle but does hope to play with the extra day of rest. If the bruising back can't go, veteran James Starks should be able to pick up the slack without too much dropoff and Green Bay didn't miss a beat in the run game last week against a tough Seattle defense.
Both teams have good but not great defenses. Green Bay typically plays with a lead and that lets guys like Julius Peppers and Clay Matthews go for big plays.
KC has been stout against the run so far, allowing just 80 yards on average but ranks outside the top-20 in pass yards allowed, not exactly a good stat as you go up against the best QB in the business and their pass happy offense. I think 6.5 points is safe to lay, especially in Lambeau. Look for the Packers to get a big win on MNF over the Chiefs.
