Aaron Rodgers has put up some pedestrian numbers so far in 2015 after winning MVP in 2014. He seems to be missing his security blanket Nelson. Still the Packers are 2-0. Kansas City can’t afford a hangover from such a devastating loss to a hated division rival. I think the Packers are a better team and win comfortably at home.
