Packers by 3 1/2

Some people keep writing Aaron Rodgers’ obituary, that he’s going to be replaced after this season by rookie Jordan Love. I don’t know what they’re tokin, but ARodg has thrown for 48 TDs against only 5 ints. He and wide receiver Davante Adams, 115 receptions, 1374 yards, 18 TDs, are on a mission to raise the Lombardi Trophy on February 7th in Tampa at Raymond James Stadium in Super Bowl LV. Give me ARodg and Davante at home in the snow and low 30 degree weather at game time. The limited fans at Lambeau will still make noise and be a factor. They’re passionate about their team. Brady and company are tough, but these Packers are unstoppable looking.

Packers 35, Bucs 30

Chiefs by 3

Patrick Mahomes has been in concussion protocol all week since the hit he took by former Alabama linebacker and now Cleveland Browns linebacker Mack Wilson, but is expected to play. I like the Chiefs to barely survive a really good Buffalo team. Even if Chad Henne is the starting quarterback for the Chiefs, they’re so good around the quarterback that they can get away with it. But Buffalo is a team that is right on the precipice of winning it all. They’re going to give the Chiefs everything they want with or without Mahomes. The home crowd, another highly passionate group, maybe the loudest in the NFL as it registers 3 something on the Richter Scale at times, a minor earthquake, will be a huge factor in the Chiefs escaping and reaching their second consecutive Super Bowl with a chance to repeat.

Chiefs 31, Bills 30
