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. Green Bay is looking to even a sour score from week six when they traveled to Florida and got steamrolled 38-10 in their worst performance of a grand 13-3 season, earning them the right to host the rematch as the NFC’s top seed. The Packers advanced through the Divisional Round with a co

The NFL playoffs resume tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen, and we are back with our picks for the Divisional Round!
First, let’s take a look at how everyone did last week, where Warren pretty much whooped all of us. We’ll take a full accounting of how we did on all of the things that Tallysight keeps track of.
Warren Ludford: 13-5 (5-1 straight up, 4-2 against the spread, 4-2 on over/unders)
Ed Brodmarkle: 10-8 (4-2 straight up, 4-2 against the spread, 2-4 on over/unders)
A Way-Too-Early 2021 Season Prediction By IronWarrior222 on Jan 12, 2021, 11:06am CST +
Now that the regular season has come to a close, we now know we will be facing next season, but not yet the order.
Regardless, it is never too early to speculate how things will go. I will be making these guesses with the idea that the teams are going to be nearly identical as they were this last year.
I won t be going week-to-week, but hoping from one home game to an away game. -
Outcome: W
Currently, it seems as though Nagy will be back around for the 2021 season, but it remains to be seen whether or not Trubisky will as well. Regardless, I don t see them beating us at home. Hopefully, with some help at Guard (Please God), they will actually be able to produce with Akeem Hicks in the center of the Bears D-Line. While I think they win this game, I don t think they win at Solider Field. I say we win here purely because it s at home.

GREEN BAY, Wis. – The Green Bay Packers will host the Los Angeles Rams in next weekend’s NFC divisional playoffs.
As the No. 1 seed, the Packers get to play the lowest-remaining seed following wild-card weekend. That’s the Rams, who as the No. 6 seed upset the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday. Second-seeded New Orleans knocked off seventh-seeded Chicago on Sunday to book the Rams’ flight to Green Bay.
Kickoff is 3:35 p.m. Saturday. The Packers are 7-point favorites at most sportsbooks, including Westgate SuperBook, PointsBet and DraftKings.
There are two obvious story lines.
One, it’s Green Bay’s offense, which was No. 1 in the NFL in scoring, vs. the Rams’ defense, which was No. 1 in points allowed.
