3 reasons Packers could be upset by Buccaneers in NFC Championship

The Green Bay Packers have a huge matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, as the two teams square up in the NFC Championship game. Obviously, the winner goes on to play in the Super Bowl, but this is a matchup of two of the best quarterbacks of all-time playing at high levels with complete teams surrounding them.

This will be Rodgers’ fifth NFC Championship game, but the first one at Lambeau Field. That was one of his goals throughout the regular season and we’ll see if he and his teammates can capitalize on the home-field advantage. However, the Buccaneers have been playing at an extremely high level, so let’s check out three reasons why they could upset the home team in this contest.

3. Buccaneers’ offensive weapons

Tampa Bay has done a great job surrounding Tom Brady with elite offensive weapons. Mike Evans, Chris Godwin and Antonio Brown makeup one of the best receiving corps in the entire NFL. Not to mention Rob Gronkowski and the running back tandem of Ronald Jones and Leonard Fournette. It’s safe to say Green Bay’s defense will have their hands full in this one. The Buccaneers are more than capable of putting up another 38 points like they did in the first contest and that would make it extremely difficult for this Packers’ offense to keep pace.
