These three players could make or break the undefeated Green Bay Packers’ Week 3 matchup against the winless Atlanta Falcons.

The Green Bay Packers are riding high following their victory over the New Orleans Saints on Sunday Night Football. However, they shouldn’t sleep on the winless Atlanta Falcons in Week 4.

There are plenty of reasons why Green Bay should win, but that doesn’t make this contest any less difficult. Atlanta sports a dangerous offense that’s putting up 30 points per game so far, good enough for sixth-best in the NFL. That could spell trouble for a Packers’ defense that has struggled to stop their opponents consistently.

Fortunately, the Packers are clearly the better team heading into this matchup and should be able to walk away with the “W.” And here are three x-factors who give them the edge in Monday night’s showdown.
