* Davante Adams vs. Kenny Moore II: Adams is Rodgers' favorite target, and Moore is one of the Colts' best cornerbacks. This matchup will be another key battle in the game.
* Colts offensive line vs. Packers defensive line: The Colts' offensive line has been a weakness in recent years, while the Packers' defensive line is one of the best in the NFL. This matchup will be a key factor in determining how much success the Colts have on offense.
Prediction
The Packers are the better team on paper, and they are favored by 3 points for a reason. However, the Colts have a good chance of winning this game if they can get enough pressure on Rodgers and force him to make mistakes. The Colts also need to be able to run the ball effectively, and they need to win the turnover battle.
Prediction: Packers 27, Colts 24
