3. Packers defeat the Los Angeles Rams in the Divisional Round

First up is the Rams. After Los Angeles upset the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday, they earned a contest with the NFC’s top seed.

Despite being the sixth seed in the NFC, don’t sleep on the Rams. They have an elite defense that will make everything very difficult for the Packers’ offense. For starters, Green Bay must protect Rodgers and keep him upright with Aaron Donald and company on the prowl. After that, Jalen Ramsey will likely shadow Davante Adams all over the field, making life as difficult for Adams as possible.

However, Matt LaFleur has been on his A-game all season long and should be able to scheme easy opportunities for the rest of the Packers’ skill players. Green Bay should also have an easier time with Los Angeles’s beat-up offense, keeping them low scoring. The Packers will eventually break out on offense and outpace the Rams in the scoring department.
