Why the Packers can cover

Aaron Rodgers extended his streak of consecutive postseason games with multiple touchdown passes to eight when he threw a pair against the Rams, tying the NFL record set from 2011 to 2014 by Joe Flacco. The 37-year-old has at least one scoring toss in 15 straight playoff contests, the fourth-longest such streak in league history behind Brett Favre (20), Tom Brady (18) and Drew Brees (18). He ranks fourth on the all-time list with 42 career postseason TD passes and needs three to pass Favre (44) and tie Joe Montana for second place behind Tom Brady (77). 

Aaron Jones recorded 113 scrimmage yards in the victory over Los Angeles while also rushing for a touchdown. The 26-year-old from UTEP has recorded five TDs in three career playoff games. Jones has rushed for a score in both of his previous career matchups against Tampa Bay, including the Packers' 38-10 road loss in Week 6 this season.

Why the Buccaneers can cover

Linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul has always come up big during the postseason and will try to continue that trend against the Packers. Pierre-Paul has five tackles for loss and six pass breakups in six career postseason games. In his last matchup against Green Bay, he had 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble.

During the regular season, Pierre-Paul had 55 tackles with 9.5 sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss.

Cornerback Jamel Dean did what few have been able to do when he faced Aaron Rodgers the first time this season. In the Week 6 matchup, he had a 32-yard pick six. Dean finished the regular season seventh on the team in tackles with 62, including 51 solo. In the 2021 NFL Playoffs, Dean has 10 tackles, including nine solo, with one pass breakup.
