The 4PM hour of Kyle & Brust puts a bow on the offseason and makes the final predictions for Packers-Vikings. Torrey Lowe joins Kyle Wallace and Ben Brust to explain why he has Green Bay winning a close one, predicts a 12-5 season and an NFC Championship appearance, and says Jordan Love needs to establish himself as the unquestioned leader of the Packers offense. Plus, could Marshawn Lloyd take advantage of Josh Jacobs’ absence and emerge as Green Bay’s future in the backfield?
The guys also dive into their favorite Week 1 Packers props, including Matthew Golden’s touchdown chances, Marshawn Lloyd’s rushing total, which pass catchers will get the most opportunities and whether Love can hit a big play against Brian Flores’ defense. Finally, Kyle delivers his closing argument for why Green Bay will win: Love’s success against pressure combined with Jonathan Gannon’s familiarity with Kyler Murray. It’s convincing enough that Ben abandons his 20-20 tie prediction and jumps aboard the Packers train.
