Aaron Rodgers has played with a chip on his shoulder his entire career. And as if he needed more motivation than playing in an NFC Championship Game against his home team and the club that snubbed him in the 2005 draft. He now gets to lead a Packers team that nobody is giving a chance to win.
The Packers are 7.5-point underdogs this weekend. The 49ers are heavy favorites. After all, they beat this Packers team 37-8 already this season.
But that shouldn’t bother Matt LaFleur or the players one bit, and it could actually help them.
