Aaron Rodgers will throw an interception: FICTION

The Jacksonville Jaguars invested quite a bit of money and draft capital to improve the defense this offseason and it will most certainly pay off. The front seven should be improved with the additions of Dante Fowler Jr., Yannick Ngakoue, Malik Jackson, and Myles Jack. The back end should be significantly better as well with Tashaun Gipson manning the free safety spot and Jalen Ramsey roaming around multiple positions. The defense will undoubtedly pester quarterbacks much more than they did in 2015.

Unfortunately Aaron Rodgers doesn’t make a lot of mistakes.

The virtuoso passer has only thrown 13 interceptions in the last 2 seasons, with 8 of those coming in a tough 2015 campaign. The Jacksonville pass rush clearly still needs some time to work itself out, so I expect Rodgers to have a pretty good game on Sunday.
