Green Bay Packers: 5 Bold predictions vs. Raiders, Week 7

2. Jones, Williams combine for 150 yards

With Jamaal Williams back in the fold following his concussion injury, it’s clear that we’re back to a timeshare between him and Aaron Jones. While that may be frustrating for fantasy owners, it’s a good problem for the Packers to have as both players are highly capable backs that can carry the load if they’re the hot hand.

Having said that, the Raiders run defense has been surprisingly stout this season, allowing a mere 92.0 yards per game on the ground to opponents. That won’t matter in Week 7, though. The Packers have proven to be able to run well against anyone and, with Williams and Jones both healthy, they’ll unleash their two-headed monster in a big way to control the game and take pressure off their backup receivers forced into action.

1. Packers win by 15+ points

Despite the fact that the Green Bay Packers have started hot with a 5-1 record, one thing to note is that they have not been blowing teams out in terms of the final score. Yes, they got up huge on the Cowboys but allowed Dallas to fight back to make it a 10-point game. In fact, Green Bay’s largest margin of victory this season came in Week 3 against the Broncos. That changes in Week 7.

The Raiders have been more impressive than expected this season. Moreover, they should be able to try and control the clock and run the ball well with Josh Jacobs. While that may all be true, Rodgers is going to pick this secondary apart, even with an injured wide receiver corps, and the run game will find success as well. Oakland won’t be able to keep up as the Packers win by more than two touchdowns.
