The Green Bay Packers will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the NFC Championship this Sunday at Lambeau Field with a 2:05 PM kickoff featuring two of the most iconic quarterbacks in league history. The Aaron Rodgers-Tom Brady storyline will be exhausted by Wednesday but there’s so much more to this one. At long last, Rodgers can earn a trip to the Super Bowl on his home field in his fifth conference title game while Brady, who has won 6 rings with New England, playing in 13 AFC Championship games, now has a 14th opportunity in his first season with his new team, trying to become the first in league history to play for the Vince Lombardi Trophy on their home turf.

I m hoping we haven t seen it yet.

If you add up each scoring play by Team A vs. Team B and weighted them based on their respective points (e.g. 6 for TD, 3 for FG, 1 for PAT.), the team with the most points at the end of the game wins 100% of the time.
