NFL Predictions Week 4: Aaron Rodgers and 2 QBs Primed for Huge Days

Aaron Rodgers, Matthew Stafford, and Tom Brady are primed for big games.  Each of these quarterbacks have had a strong start to the season.  Their excellent play appears likely to continue this weekend, as each has a favorable matchup.

Aaron Rodgers

The Green Bay Packers are hosting the Denver Broncos, a team with some defensive concerns.  Denver will likely be without Champ Bailey and Elvis Dumervil, their top defensive players. 

Rodgers is performing at mid-season form.  Last week, he was able to shred a very good Chicago Bears defense.  The Broncos have little chance to slow down this potent Green Bay attack.

Denver's offensive struggles will also contribute to Rodgers' big game.  The Green Bay offense will likely receive more plays due to the Broncos lack of offensive production.  Green Bay's defense is likely to force several three-and-outs, as well as some turnovers.

Matthew Stafford

Stafford is healthy, and showing why he was the No. 1 overall selection.  He has shown a powerful arm, good decision-making and the ability to win football games.  His relationship with Calvin Johnson has allowed them to create an electrifying duo. 

The Lions have enough offensive weapons to effectively move the ball against any defense.

Today, the Lions face the Dallas Cowboys, who have problems in the secondary.  Last season, this unit was one of the worst in the NFL, and things haven't improved much.  However, the Cowboys ability to create pressure aids the coverage.

Detroit has done a great job protecting Stafford.  However, facing DeMarcus Ware is always a tough challenge.  The key to Stafford's success depends on if the Lions' offensive line can neutralize Ware.

Tom Brady

The Oakland Raiders' secondary should be ready for a long day.  Tom Brady is not going to throw four interceptions in back-to-back games.  His facial expression at the end of the Bills game was scary.  He looked very angry with himself. 

Today, Brady will take out his frustrations on the Oakland Raiders, who are without CB Chris Johnson.
