Packers: Three bold predictions vs. Raiders in Week 7

With the Oakland Raiders visiting Lambeau Field in Week 7, here are three bold predictions for the Green Bay Packers.

Matt LaFleur’s Packers have made a better start than anyone could’ve imagined. This team only won six games all of last season but could match that total on Sunday. It shows just how far the Packers have come in a short time. And LaFleur deserves credit for that.

What else is encouraging to see is how the Packers are winning games. They’ve won with defense. They’ve won with the run game. They’ve won with a walk-off field goal. LaFleur’s Packers find a way, and that’s about as big a compliment as you can give a head coach. Through six weeks, the Packers have found ways to win even when they’re not at their best. And when they are, they’ve looked like one of the NFL’s best teams on both sides of the ball.

Enter another challenge for LaFleur and his team. Potentially down a number of offensive starters, the Packers aim to keep their winning streak going against an impressive Raiders team fresh off their bye week. That won’t be an easy task.

It should make for an interesting game. After this, Green Bay is on the road for back-to-back weeks.

Here are my bold predictions for the Packers’ Week 7 meeting with the Raiders.
