2. Turnovers

The presence of turnovers paid a huge role in the Packers’ Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers. Rodgers threw two of his five interceptions in the 2020 season in that contest with one being returned for a touchdown. Don’t expect that to happen again.

Green Bay as a team has been incredible at protecting the rock this season. Their 11 turnovers in 17 games is the fewest in the NFL and ball protection is a huge priority of theirs. They’ll be able to take better care of the ball in this contest and make Tampa Bay work for their money.
