1. Aaron Rodgers’ revenge

Aaron Rodgers wants to add another MVP trophy to his mantle and hasn’t been shy about discussing how much the individual award means to him. And, at this point in the season, it’s a two-man race between Rodgers and Patrick Mahomes.

After a sloppy performance against the Panthers, Rodgers has probably fallen behind in the race and needs two monster games to make up some ground. Fortunately, he should have no issue doing so against a Titan’s offense that reeks at all three levels. The Packers will also be forced to keep up with the Titans’ high-scoring offense meaning we could see an old-fashioned shootout.

Rodgers knows how much this victory means to his chances at the MVP and his team’s ability to lock down home field advantage in the playoffs–he doesn’t want to play another NFC Championship game away from home. He’ll be locked in for this contest and will certainly be treating it as a playoff game.
