Aaron Jones over 58.5 yards
-$115
Why?
INDIVIDUAL REASONS
-Aaron Jones averaged 60 yards per game last year playing from behind with a bad defense
-He’s in the best shape of his career
-He’s 24 years old and entering his 3rd season so should be on the upswing of his career
-Jones missed the first part of last year, then was 2nd string his first couple weeks back. Once he became the starter, he went over 60 in 5 of the next 8 contests (62.5% of the time)
OPPONENT REASONS
-The Vikings gave up, on average 113 yards per game last year
-They lost Sheldon Richardson
-They’re a defense that has guys in their prime or 30 years old, so they’re not ascending
-The Vikings run an even front. 3-4 fronts with big edges usually give outside zone teams more trouble
TEAM REASONS
-It’s a home game so the OL can get off the ball better
-The Packers have shifted to a run oriented offense
-Last week was Aaron Jones first game of the new season so Lafleur will probably feel more comfortable letting him loose now, in the second game
-He’s the Packers only real rushing threat that’s experienced enough to contribute so he looks to get the bulk of the carries in a run-centric offense
All signs point to Aaron Jones breaking 58.5 tomorrow at Lambeau. You can bet on it. I did.
