The Packers lost 4 of their past five games. They allowed their opponents an average of 38 points per game in the losses including games against the Titans and Colts. Their best offensive player, Aaron Rodgers is expected to play, but is slowed by a hamstring issue. Their best defensive player, Clay Matthews, is also expected to play but is hampered by a very painful shoulder sprain.
The Packers are playing on short rest having played last Monday night on the road. They are tired to the extent they took Wednesday off to recover physically . However, that leaves little time to prepare.
