Coming off a bye, I would guess MLF would have some unscouted looks ready for the Bucs. With Kenny Clark back, I would expect the defense to make Brady a little uncomfortable in the pocket. If that happens, its a Packer route. If Brady is allowed to stand back there like a statue or the coverage design allows him to throw quickly to open guys, it could be a long game.

In terms of preparation, the Packers defense should have it pretty easy. They've played the same type of QB every week so far and held up decently well. Stafford, Cousins, Brees, Brady, and Ryan are all guys with minimal mobility that can kill you when you give them time, but all are likely to make some mistakes (Stafford, Cousins, and Ryan at all times in their career and Brady/Brees at this point in their careers) as soon as you make them move around the pocket a little bit.

Packers 31, Bucs 21. Brady's receivers are covered, all game long, by our DBs, allowing Zadarious and Gary to sack Brady 3 times. Davante gets two TDs, in his return to the squad. Aaron Jones(pay the man) gets two TDs, on the day. Bucs defenders spend the afternoon holding Tonyan and getting called for it. Crosby is 1-1 on FG and 4-4 on PATs. Aaron Rodgers shows up Brady with a brilliant aerial display. MLF and The Packers remain undefeated. Brady rethinks retirement.

PFT's take.

Packers (-1) at Buccaneers

MDSโ€™s take: Sundayโ€™s marquee matchup is a meeting of Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady, and I think Rodgers gets the better end of that battle in a close Packers win.

MDSโ€™s pick: Packers 31, Buccaneers 30.

Florioโ€™s take: Aaron Rodgers has a chance to emerge from a rare battle with the GOAT reminding Tom Brady and everyone else that, if Rodgers had been New Englandโ€™s quarterback over the last 15 years, theyโ€™d possibly have 10 Super Bowl titles.

Florioโ€™s pick: Packers 34, Buccaneers 27.

Something I noticed when perusing season stats was that the Bucs have played 72 more snaps on defense, an equivalent of an entire game. So, even though they have had a mini-bye after their TNF game, they have essentially played 6 games, as compared to 4 for the Packers.

I'd say if anybody's defense would be affected by the heat and humidity, it would be the Bucs.

Controlling the ball will be THE key to this game.
