Week 9 vs Green Bay Packers

This will be an offensive shootout. When you have the two best quarterbacks in the NFL you are bound to have a good game.

Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers have only met once during their careers. The Packers defeated the Patriots 26-21 and Rodgers threw for 368 yards and 2 touchdowns.

The Packers may have lost Jordy Nelson, but their offense will still be great. Randall Cobb and Davante Adams are quality wideouts, and the Packers picked up Jimmy Graham in the offseason. Graham has struggled recently, but he is still a player that defenses need to pay attention too.

It will definitely be a tough game for the Patriots. New England’s secondary struggled last season which they can’t versus the Packers. If the secondary struggles, it will be impossible for the Patriots to win.

Hopefully, the Patriots will show who has the true G.O.A.T. at quarterback by having a dominant game in week 9.
