5 Buccaneers at Packers prop bet predictions for NFC Championship
Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Lines last updated Saturday at 11:15 a.m. ET.
Buccaneers RB Ronald Jones OVER 35.5 rushing yards (-115)
Jones has to share the backfield with RB Leonard Fournette, but both players are running the ball well right now. Jones has been the more consistent runner this season and he could easily top 35 yards rushing with one long carry.
I like Jones to go OVER 35.5 yards on the ground, especially after seeing him gain 62 yards on only 13 carries against a good New Orleans Saints defense last week.
Packers RB Aaron Jones OVER 59.5 rushing yards (-135)
QB Aaron Rodgers gets most of the attention in Green Bay, but the other Aaron deserves some credit, too. Jones is a dynamic runner with a ton of explosiveness, as evidenced by his 60-yard run against the Los Angeles Rams last week.
RBs A.J. Dillon and Jamaal Williams will eat into his touches a bit, but Jones is a good bet to top 60 yards on the ground – which he has done 10 times in 15 games, including last week. Take the OVER.

Packers WR Allen Lazard longest reception OVER 19.5 yards (-118)
Lazard is a big play waiting to happen. Both he and WR Equanimeous St. Brown are deep threats for Rodgers and it’ll be Lazard who hauls in a reception of at least 20 yards against the Bucs – as long as he doesn’t drop it.
He had 96 yards on only 4 catches against the Rams thanks to a 58-yard TD, and I think he’ll have a reception longer than 20 yards Sunday.
Buccaneers WR Mike Evans to score anytime TD (+125)
Evans had only one reception last week, but it went for 6 points. With WR Antonio Brown out this week, Evans will see a greater target share against the Packers. As long as he doesn’t draw CB Jaire Alexander in coverage all game long, he’s a good bet to have a strong performance.
I think he’ll find the end zone at least once and I like the value at +125.
Packers QB Aaron Rodgers OVER 2.5 TD passes (+150)
In 12 of the 17 games Rodgers has played this season, he threw for at least 3 touchdowns. He was blanked against the Bucs in Week 6 in what was his worst performance of the season, but he’ll be much better Sunday, having played the Bucs once before.
He’s a good bet to hit WR Davante Adams at least once for a touchdown, and assuming this game turns into a shootout, he could easily throw for 3 more. Take the OVER.
