Green Bay Packers: 5 bold predictions for NFL Playoffs
2. Packers defeat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Championship game
In the other Divisional round, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers travel to New Orleans to take on the Saints in a battle of NFC South rivals. Tampa has been hitting their stride at the right time and I predict them to advance to the NFC Championship game against the Packers.
The Bucs already embarrassed Green Bay once this season and will likely be favored by a lot of analysts to advance to the Super Bowl. However, the Packers will be out for blood and have extra motivation in that contest.
Things couldn’t have gone worse for Green Bay in their early-season matchup, but that won’t be the case in their rematch. Rodgers knows what is at stake and has been praising the opportunity to host an NFC Championship game instead of play one on the road. He won’t relinquish this chance and will carry the Pack to the Super Bowl.
