NFC Championship Game: Green Bay Packers betting favorites vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

The Green Bay Packers are the betting favorites in their NFC Championship home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

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.

Green Bay Packers road favorites at Chicago Bears in Week 17

The Green Bay Packers are the betting favorites in their Week 17 road game at the Chicago Bears.

The NFC North champion Green Bay Packers (12-3) visit the rival Chicago Bears (8-7) Sunday of Week 17 for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Here’s a look at the early Packers-Bears betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Packers had no problem with the Tennessee Titans in Week 16, cruising to a 40-14 rout Sunday night as 3-point favorites. QB Aaron Rodgers threw 4 touchdowns, with 3 going to WR Davante Adams (142 receiving yards, 11 catches), and finished with 231 passing yards as the Packers won their fifth game in a row. Rookie RB AJ Dillon (124 rushing yards, 21 carries) ran for 2 TDs, and veteran RB Aaron Jones rushed for 94 yards on 10 carries as Green Bay outgained Tennessee 234-156 yards on the ground. Titans RB and NFL rushing leader Derrick Henry was held under 100 yards for the second time in his last seven games. Green Bay already clinched the NFC North crown and can earn the NFC’s No. 1 seed with a win at Chicago or a Seattle Seahawks (11-4) loss at the San Francisco 49ers.

After Week 16’s results, the Bears now control their fate in the NFC playoff picture. If they beat the Packers, they’re in. If they lose, they can still get in but will need the Arizona Cardinals (8-7) to lose at the Los Angeles Rams Sunday. QB Mitchell Trubisky threw for 265 yards and 2 TDs – both to TE Jimmy Graham – vs. 1 interception, and ran for a score to lead Chicago to a 41-17 victory at the lowly Jacksonville Jaguars (1-14) in Week 16. RB David Montgomery (95 rushing yards, 23 carries) and RB Artavis Pierce (26 rushing yards, 2 carries) each ran for a TD as the Bears easily covered the 9.5-point spread.

The Packers beat the Bears 41-25 in their first meeting this season in Week 12 at Lambeau Field. Green Bay covered as an 8.5-point favorite.

The Titans stayed atop the AFC South with a 46-25 home victory over the Detroit Lions in Week 15, covering as 9.5-point favorites.

The Titans close the regular season at the Houston Texans, while the Colts visit the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 16 and host the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 17.

Green Bay scored on its first three possessions and led 21-3 at the half. QB Aaron Rodgers completed 20 of 29 passes for 143 yards and 1 touchdown, and he ran for 26 yards and a score as the Packers claimed a fourth straight win. On the ground, the Packers outgained the Panthers 195-115 yards, led by RB Aaron Jones’ 145 rushing yards with 1 TD on 20 carries. Green Bay holds a 1-game lead over the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks, both 10-4, for the NFC’s No. 1 seed.

Green Bay Packers big home favorites vs. Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13

The Green Bay Packers are the betting favorites in their Week 13 home game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Philadelphia Eagles (3-7-1) visit the Green Bay Packers (8-3) Sunday of Week 13 for a 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Here’s a look at the early Packers-Eagles betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Eagles lost their third game in a row, falling 23-17 at home to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 12’s Monday Night Football game. The loss dropped the Eagles a half-game out of first place in the woeful NFC East, but they pulled off a backdoor cover in the final seconds as 6.5-point underdogs. TE Richard Rodgers’ 33-yard touchdown catch off a tipped ball in the end zone on QB Carson Wentz‘s desperation heave with 12 seconds left cut the Eagles’ deficit to 23-15. When RB Miles Sanders ran in the 2-point conversion, Philly bettors cashed and Seattle backers were bitten by the “Bad Beat” gods.

The Packers covered as 7.5-point favorites in defeating the visiting Chicago Bears 41-25 in the Week 12 Sunday Night Football matchup. QB Aaron Rodgers (211 passing yards) threw three of his four touchdowns on Green Bay’s first three possessions and LB Preston Smith returned a fumble recovery for a 14-yard score as the Packers jumped out to a 27-3 lead late in the second quarter. Green Bay holds a three-game lead over the Minnesota Vikings in the NFC North.

Indianapolis Colts tabbed as home favorites against Green Bay Packers in Week 11

The Indianapolis Colts are listed as betting favorites at home to the Green Bay Packers in Week 11.

The Green Bay Packers (7-2) and Indianapolis Colts (6-3) are slated to meet in a Week 11 Sunday game. Kickoff will be at 4:25 p.m. ET at Lucas Oil Stadium. Below, we take a look at the early Packers-Colts Week 11 betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

The Packers were held to just 80 rushing yards in failing to cover a 13.5-point spread against the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday; Green Bay won the game 24-20 in come-from-behind fashion. Green Bay was outscored, 10-0, over the first 20 minutes of the second half. A 6-yard touchdown pass — from QB Aaron Rodgers to WR Davante Adams — with 9:03 remaining in the contest vaulted the Packers to their seventh win of the season. Rodgers and Adams connected eight times for 66 yards in the game and Rodgers logged his fourth 300-yard game of the fall with a 325 yards against Jacksonville.

The Colts are coming off a 34-17 win at the Tennessee Titans on Thursday Night Football. The Colts have won two straight games away from home. QB Philip Rivers went 29-for-39 for 308 yards, while a ball-hawking Indy defense held the Titans to just 137 passing yards. The Colts defense heads into Week 11 having held foes under 175 aerial yards in five games.

Green Bay Packers monster home favorites vs. Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 10

The Jacksonville Jaguars are road underdogs at the Green Bay Packers in their Week 10 game by the early betting odds and lines.

The Jacksonville Jaguars (1-7) stop by Lambeau Field to play the Green Bay Packers (6-2) Sunday of Week 10 at 1 p.m. ET. Here’s a look at the early Jaguars-Packers betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.

Jacksonville turned to backup sixth-round rookie QB Jake Luton to replace QB Gardner Minshew, who was sidelined due to multiple fractures in his right thumb. Luton played pretty well in his first-ever start and nearly tied the game in the final minute but failed to convert on a two-point conversion following his 13-yard touchdown run.

Luton completed 26 of 38 throws for 304 yards with one touchdown and one interception. His one rushing attempt was the 13 yarder that made the game 27-25. He figures to be the Week 10 starter as there is no timetable for Minshew’s return. The Jaguars are on a seven-game losing streak after upsetting the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1.

Jacksonville’s betting records: 

  • Against the spread: 3-5 ATS
  • Over/Under: 5-3 O/U

Green Bay made quick work of an injury-riddled San Francisco 49ers team on the road on Thursday Night Football in Week 9. QB Aaron Rodgers bolstered his 2020 MVP case with a 98.8 QBR performance in which he completed 25 of 31 passes for 305 yards and 4 touchdowns with zero interceptions. Rodgers currently has the highest QBR (87.6) and QB Rating (117.5) in the league.

Through half of their season, the Packers are tied with the New Orleans Saints and Seattle Seahawks for the best record in the NFC and are in first place in the NFC North.

Green Bay’s betting records

  • Against the spread: 6-2 ATS
  • Over/Under: 5-3 O/U
