2. Aaron Rodgers has a monster game

So far it doesn’t look good for the green and gold, but this is where it starts to get better. Much better.

There were times during the regular season where Aaron Rodgers talked about the importance of earning home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs and he touched on the topic again this week. Rodgers is going to set the world on fire on his way to passing for 400 plus yards and four-plus touchdowns.

That’s exactly what the Packers will need against a leaky Bucs’ secondary that could suddenly be missing starting safety/swiss-army knife Antoine Winfield Jr. Of course, his primary target will be Davante Adams, but there will be plenty of love to go around to other Packers as well.
