The Packers traded dams to the Raiders on March 17, 2022. The deal got the Packers a first-round and second-round pick, which general manager Brian Gutekunst used to select linebacker Quay Walker and trade up to draft receiver Christian Watson. so far, it has paid off
Air Raid: Jaire vs. Adams
Both teams bring their brand of excitement and promise, but let's go to the elephant in the room: Jaire Alexander vs Davante Adams. These two are at the top of their game, and all NFL fans should be excited for this match-up. It's your typical number one wide receiver vs. number one cornerback you get in every NFL game. In my opinion, it's open the all-time wide receiver versus a possible top ten all-time corner, and, to make it even more exciting, these two were teammates when Adams played for the Packers. It's going to be special to watch! Jaire is a fantastic corner and shut down Justin Jefferson a time or two, but Adams is a different animal. Adams was a Packers when Green Bay drafted Jaire. The rookie quickly realizes who the best WR was for the Packers. Adams deserves some credit for helping Jaire become a premier NFL corner despite him saying, "I'd dominate that monster, but he turned into one, so it's as good to see a player, especially a highly touted player like that, get drafted in the first round and then realize his potential and live up to it, so it's to see, and it's na be fun to play against him." A s knows all of Jair's knesses, all one or two. You know Jaire would know weaknesses, but I'm not sure he has any. Jaire said in a pregame interview, like a mouthpiece in all game type of game. too much to say. I just got to go out there and do it; it's going to be a battle.

Injury Report
Final Thoughts:
Even though the Raiders are favored in this match-up, the Packers are in a position to win this awesome Monday night game. The Packers and Love haven't had all their starting skill position players on offense this entire season until now. Christian Watson is a playmaker with the ability to score every time he gets the ball. Aaron Jones is the key to this offense; he hasn't played a full game since week 1 vs. the Bears, where he was dominant in all phases. Also, the offensive line will have all but one starter, with pro bowler LG Eltion Jenkins and RG Jon Runyan Jr. returning. Their absence was more than noticed in the week 4 match-up vs. the Detroit Lions. All-Pro LT David Bakhtiari will, unfortunately, miss the remainder of the season due to the severity of his ACL injury in 2020. Jimmy Garoppolo hasn't been the most consistent QB over his career, and despite all his weapons on offense, it Is enough to match with this Packers and up-and-coming defense. The Raiders are only averaging 15.5 ppg (t30th) and ranked 30th on stopping 3rd down conversions; the Packers are ranked 11th on 3rd down conversions on offense this season while the Raiders are ranked 30th. With Green stout defensive line tallying 11 sacks and 61 total pressures this season (t-1st in the NFL) and the league average is 36, Garoppolo might be seeing ghosts by the second half. If Jimmy G throws at least 1 int, that will be enough to put this young Packers team in the position to win.
Prediction: GB: 27, LV: 21
Davante Adams: 9 rec 95 yds and 1 TD
