The No. 1-seed Green Bay Packers (14-3) will meet the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (13-5) in the NFC Championship Game Sunday at 3:05 p.m. ET. Below, we take a look at the early Buccaneers-Packers NFC Championship betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Packers scored in every quarter of a Saturday’s NFC Divisional Round game that saw Green Bay defeat the Los Angeles Rams 32-18. QB Aaron Rodgers threw for two scores and ran in a third, racking up 296 passing yards along the way. The victory marked Green Bay’s seventh in a row since a Week 11 setback against the Indianapolis Colts. The last four games in that streak have seen the Packers hold foes under 20 points. Green Bay held the Rams to a 2 of 9 mark on third- and fourth-down plays and to just 244 total yards in the game.
Buccaneers QB Tom Brady also recorded two passing touchdowns and one rushing score in a Sunday victory over the New Orleans Saints. Brady and the Buccaneers battled back from a late third-quarter deficit to defeat the Saints 30-20. A staunch Bucs defense allowed just 294 total yards in helping Tampa Bay win on the road. That defense held the Saints off the scoreboard in the final 20 minutes of play. The Buccaneers defeated Green Bay 38-10 in Week 6 of the regular season.
