1. Aaron Rodgers wins MVP

The last time Rodgers broke his collarbone came against the Chicago Bears in 2013. He followed that up with an MVP season in 2014 in which he racked up 4,381 passing yards, 38 touchdowns and only five interceptions. He also led the Packers to a 12-4 record that year.

Expect more of the same from Rodgers in 2018, as he goes on a revenge tour across the NFL. Rodgers is extra motivated this season and has all the weapons around him in order to post an MVP-type season.

In Adams and Graham, Rodgers has two matchup nightmares that can win one-on-one battles at anytime. Cobb can be a nice third weapon and one of the more underrated receivers at this point. Behind him is some potential. Marcedes Lewis, the second tight end, and Geronimo Allison, the third receiver, can pack some punch behind the main weapons. The running game should also be elite, providing a balanced attack on offense.

All of this means Rodgers can take advantage of a defense who can’t lock in on one player or aspect of their offense. Look for history to repeat itself and for Rodgers to win his third MVP of his career, matching Brett Favre.
