Green Bay Packers: 3 Bold predictions vs. Chiefs, Week 8
By Joe Kipp
3. Aaron Rodgers throws for 3 TDs, sacked zero times
Coming off one of his best games of all-time last week against the Oakland Raiders, Aaron Rodgers should have another strong performance against a woeful Chiefs secondary this Sunday night.

Against the Raiders, Rodgers posted a perfect passer rating (158.3) for the first time in his career, finishing 25-of-31 passing for 429 yards, six touchdowns and zero interceptions, along with a whopping average of 13.8 yards per pass attempt.
The Chiefs will be without three of their best defenders in defensive end Frank Clark, cornerback Kendall Fuller and defensive tackle Chris Jones, and the Packers offensive line has been impressive all season, which makes things even more difficult for Kansas City’s defensive line.
Right tackle Bryan Bulaga has yet to surrender a sack this season, while left tackle David Bakhtiari has only surrendered one sack. In total, Rodgers has only been sacked 12 times, and three of those sacks are credited as his fault. Translation? The Packers offensive line should be dominant against the Chiefs.
Rodgers should have at least three touchdown passes against a banged-up Chiefs defense. It may not be for five touchdown throws like he had last week, but Rodgers should be kept clean in the pocket all night which should make for another dominant performance.
