2. Davante Adams has over 100 receiving yards in first half

Part of the reason why I think the Packers will have a lead in the second half and be able to run the football is because of their production through the air early on.

Davante Adams is beginning to rediscover his form, and that’s bad news for opposing defenses. After not finding the end zone in his opening six games of the year, it was only a matter of time before the touchdowns began to come his away. He now has three touchdowns in the past two weeks.

Even better news is that Adams participated fully in practice all week, which shows he’s now fully healthy after a toe injury. Although he has been playing in recent weeks, he had been limited at practice often.

The Packers have the talent to make a fast start at Lambeau Field, and an early lead would make it very difficult for the Redskins to get back into the game.

Aaron Rodgers will go to his top target early and often, with Adams putting up over 100 receiving yards in the first half. The Packers will be in control and able to lean on the ground game in the second half. Don’t be surprised if Adams catches a touchdown for the third game in a row, too.
