Packers 2022 schedule release: Game-by-game, final record predictions
Week 11: Tennessee Titans (Thursday Night Football)
When the Packers and Tennessee Titans met at Lambeau Field two years ago, AJ Dillon enjoyed a breakout performance, one that showed he deserved a featured role in Matt LaFleur’s offense.
Since then, Dillon has become a key player for the Packers alongside Aaron Jones in the backfield.
Last year’s top-seeded AFC team are back at Lambeau Field again, and it could be another important game for Dillon.
Tennessee will try to win the same way it did then. Run the ball with Derrick Henry and then hurt the defense with play-action.
The Packers won’t have to worry about Pro Bowl wide receiver AJ Brown, who the Titans traded to the Philadelphia Eagles during the draft.
With Brown gone, the Titans used a first-round pick on Arkansas wide receiver Treylon Burks, a player many thought would have been a great fit in Green Bay.
If the Packers can slow down the Titans’ run game and make a fast start on offense, they could put the game away early. That’s exactly what happened two years ago.
The Titans still have a talented roster and will make this game close, but the Packers get the job done at Lambeau Field.
Prediction: Green Bay 24, Tennessee 17 (8-3)
