NFL News: Aaron Rodgers-Patrick Mahomes Showdown Projected For Super Bowl LVI

With the NFL regular season coming to an end, football fans are eager to see which teams will come out to face each other at Super Bowl LVI and oddsmakers have the Kansas City Chiefs going up against the Green Bay Packers.

DraftKings Sportsbook has Aaron Rodgers and the Packers as the favorite team to win the title at +380, while Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs are at +450.

The Chiefs and Packers are primed for a collision course thanks to both teams’ potent offensive weapons and a stellar secondary that have ripped through the league for the better part of this season.

Rodgers’ play-calling has been nothing short of extraordinary and is set to take home his second consecutive NFL MVP award after putting up 37 touchdowns on 4,115 yards with just four interceptions and a league-leading total quarterback rating of 68.8, 0.3 better than the legendary Tom Brady of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Packers finished the season at the top of the NFC with a 13-4 record, with a surprising 37-30 loss to the hapless Detroit Lions in Week 18 as Rodgers sat the second half to allow backup quarterback Jordan Love gain some experience in case Rodgers goes down at any point during the postseason.

Wide receivers Davante Adams and Allen Lazard headline the Packers’ offensive unit with Aaron Jones and A.J. Dillon anchoring the running back group.

Tight end Josiah Deguara has performed admirably with the loss of the team’s No. 1 tight end Robert Tonyan due to an ACL tear.

As for the Chiefs, their season started slowly with a 3-4 record before going on an eight-game winning streak to finish the season at 12-5, similar to the Tennessee Titans.

The Titans have the home-field edge over the Chiefs after defeating them 27-3 in Week 7.

Mahomes and the Chiefs hope to make their third-straight Super Bowl appearance this season, off a strong season thanks to running back Tyreek Hill and tight end Travis Kelce.

Third-year wide receiver Mecole Hardman will be key in alleviating pressure from Hill, who is currently dealing with a lingering heel issue.

The Packers will have a bye as they go straight into the Divisional Round as they await who wins between the Buccaneers and Philadelphia Eagles, while the Chiefs face the Pittsburgh Steelers this Wild Card Sunday, January 16 for the right to face the Titans in the Divisional Round.
