Washington Commanders vs Green Bay Packers Prediction

I considered the Commanders and the free points, as I like my dogs on short weeks. The Commanders also have a superstar quarterback who provides a punchers chance to win each and every game. However, I just don’t trust the Commanders defensively, and a win over the Giants doesn’t move the needle. The Commanders also have offensive line issues that will be tested against better teams.

The Packers are one of the more complete teams in the league, and they flexed their muscle against the Lions. While that does create a letdown spot, the line isn’t enough for me to move on the Commanders. Give me the Packers by a touchdown.
