The top offense in 2014 is Green Bay's; Aaron Rodgers is 31, 38 touchdown passes to just 5 picks and he won the MVP. Randall Cobb's 24, Jordy Nelson's 29 and both caught nearly a hundred balls with double digit scores. The Pack's the 12th seed in the region, they went into Denver and knocked off the '77 Broncos in round 1. Can they pull another?
Tampa's a massive favorite, giving a ton, 17 points, lets head to Tampa.
