This afternoon, the Aaron Rodgers-Tom Brady show gets its fifth episode as the two long-tenured NFL quarterbacks take center stage amid the NFL’s late afternoon schedule. Both quarterbacks’ supporting casts will be less impressive than usual, however, as the Green Bay Packers (+1.5)
and Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-1.5) both have wide receivers out with injuries.
Still, the quarterbacks drive eyeballs, and there should be plenty on this early-season contest. Brady’s teams are 3-1 when going up against Rodgers, with a Rodgers-led Packers squad’s only win coming in 2014 at Lambeau Field.
Of course, the Packers have had more success historically against the Buccaneers, dating back to the two teams’ shared time in the NFC Central division for many years.
