Week 15 – Green Bay Packers
Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers come to town along with former Raiders quarterback Matt Flynn. The Matt Flynn experiment was one of the worst moments of Reggie McKenzie’s tenure as general manager and Raider Nation are still recovering from watching him line up at quarterback.
There are storylines abound in this matchup as Reggie McKenzie is a former Packers executive and both James Jones and Charles Woodson won Super Bowls as members of the Packers. That reunion already happened last year in the preseason but both Woodson and Jones will hope to get one over on their old team in a game that actually counts.
Aaron Rodgers is one of the top five quarterbacks or top two depending on who you ask and he will look to inflict some serious pain on the Oakland Raiders. He has dominant receivers and an excellent running back in Eddie Lacy so look for the Raiders to try and slow the game down with their running attack.
The Packers are just too good for the Raiders and this is one of the toughest games on the Raiders schedule. The only bright spot that can be taken from this is that they do not have to play at frigid Lambeau Field in December.
Prediction: Loss
Record: 6-8
