The Green Bay Packers (4-0) face off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-2) in this week 6 matchup.
The Packers come in to this game 2nd in total yards per game on offense (445.5 Yds/Game) passing for 294.8 Yds/game and rushing for 150.8 Yds/Game. The Packers are 12th in total yards allowed on defense per game (353.3 Yds/Game) allowing 247.5 Yds/Game through the air and 105.8 Yds/Game on the ground. The Packers have 12 sacks, 2 interceptions, and 1 fumble recovered, while giving up 3 sacks, 0 interceptions, and 0 fumbles lost this season.
The Buccaneers come in to this game ranked 19th in total offense (365.0 Yds/Game) passing for 265.6 Yds/Game and rushing for 99.4 Yds/Game. Buccaneers are 2nd in total yards allowed on defense per game (298.2 Yds/Game) allowing 239.8 Yds/Game through the air and 58.4 Yds/Game on the ground. Buccaneers have 17 sacks, 6 interceptions, and 3 fumbles recovered, while giving up 8 sacks, 4 interceptions, and 3 fumbles lost.
The Buc's are going to come into this game leaning on the pass as they have already this season. Tom Brady should be able to work his offense into the weak pass protection the Packers utilize. The Packers have had a pretty balanced attack on offense but they seem to structure their offense around the defenses weaknesses to get their edge, so this could be a game where Aaron Rodgers may throw 38+ attempts if he's able to drive up the field vs the Buc's. Their defense has looked tough this year, but Aaron Rodgers has been playing exceptional football. I have to go with the Packers to cover the spread here off the strength of their offense.
