4. Aaron Rodgers throws four touchdowns

Just one week ago, Aaron Rodgers carved up the New York Giants for four touchdowns with just 243 yards. Washington is only allowing an average of 230 passing yards per game, but Rodgers has shown in the past he doesn’t need a lot of yardage to be efficient with his touchdowns. We should expect more of the same in Week 14.

It’s been a weird season for Rodgers. The Packers’ signal-caller has thrown four or more touchdowns just twice this season, but both performances came against weak defenses (Raiders and Giants). The Redskins have been bleeding points all season, allowing more than 30 points five times. Against good offenses, Washington has shown to be extremely vulnerable.

Rodgers may be having a “down” season statistically, but he’s been extremely efficient in his passing. He has a league-leading 11-to-1 touchdown to interception ratio (22 touchdowns to two interceptions), along with the lowest interception rate (0.5) among qualified quarterbacks. It’s no surprise Rodgers has been so efficient, especially with the way the Packers’ running game has performed this season.

I’m predicting Rodgers to throw at least four touchdowns in another ‘get right’ game for the Packers offense against a vulnerable Redskins defense.
