Packers become 4-point favorites against Buccaneers in NFC title game

The Green Bay Packers (14-3) will host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (13-5) at Lambeau Field for the NFC Championship game on Sunday.

Despite a 28-point loss in the first meeting in October, Matt LaFleur’s side are the first-favorites to advance to Super Bowl LV.

According to BetMGM, the Packers opened as 4-point favorites over the Buccaneers, who beat the New Orleans Saints as 2.5-point losers to advance to the conference title game.

The Packers beat the Los Angeles Rams after opening as a 7-point favorite in the NFC Divisional Round.

Green Bay has not lost since Nov. 22 in Indianapolis. The LaFleur team will be a betting favorite for the eighth consecutive game (7-0 in the last seven games).

The Packers were 2.5-point favorites in the first meeting, but the Buccaneers used a 38-0 run to beat the Packers 38-10 at Tampa Bay in Week 6.

The Buccaneers have won twice as an underdog this season (against GB in week 6, at NO in the NFC division round). They have won six straight games.

The Packers are 12-2 as a favorite this season, including the playoffs.
