NFL Week 10, 2019: 20 Bold predictions to consider

3. Rodgers tosses five touchdown passes in first half
In what turned out to be one of the biggest surprises from Week 9, the Green Bay Packers were embarrassed by the Los Angeles Chargers after previously winning their last four games.
Despite defeating the Chicago Bears the week before, the Chargers haven’t exactly been living up to the high expectations for 2019 after earning a trip to the playoffs last season as a Wild Card team.
So to see Los Angeles step up the way they did last Sunday to make it a long afternoon for Aaron Rodgers and company, the Carolina Panthers could be in trouble if the Packers star takes his frustration out on the defense.
No one needs to explain just how dangerous Rodgers can be when the future Hall of Famer is on top of his game, and while five touchdown passes in a single half sounds like a lot to predict, it’s certainly possible.
After Green Bay failed to earn trips to the playoffs in the previous two seasons leading up to 2019, Rodgers has the team in great position to finish on top of the NFC North to put an end to that unfortunate streak.
But since plenty can happen from now until the end of December, it’s important to make sure Rodgers helps the Packers bounce back strong on Sunday when facing the Panthers.
