THE COUNTERARGUMENT

Green Bay Packers’ Best Argument

The Green Bay Packers bring the bigger big-play threat. Chunk gains can flip field position and create points without requiring a perfect drive. That is why the overall gap is smaller than the score first suggests. Kansas City still answers with the stronger coaching operation and the stronger defense, which keeps the overall judgment in place.
