Green Bay Packers Player Props You Can Bet On In NFC Championship Game

The Green Bay Packers (-3) shoot for a spot in the 2021 Super Bowl when they host the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, Jan. 24 in the NFC Championship game. The Packers are going to the Super Bowl by my projections. But bettors are more engaged throughout the game with live betting and Buccanners and Packers player props.

I’ve updated conference championship  betting market data along with other information you can bet on in my updates at Forbes, TheLines, Offshore Gaming Association and FanDuel.

That includes 3 Buccaneers – Packers prop bets that I chip-in for with coverage at FanDuel and TheDuel Sports.

Last week was 2-for-3 on Aaron Rodgers props in the divisional round win over the LA Rams. That included a +500 prop on a Rodgers touchdown.

I’ll chip-in another Packers player prop on Green Bay RB Aaron Jones.

23.5 – OVER reception yards

With information you can bet on from Pro Football Focus, I’ll note that Aaron Jones is still not getting a true three-down role. Last week he played 64% of the snaps in the 32-18 win over the Rams. Green Bay out-gained the Rams 484-244 and the Pack pounded the ball on the ground for 188 yards with Jones rushing 14 times for 99 yards. That was all against the Rams top-ranked defense. Tampa Bay features the leagues No. 1 rush defense allowing 82 rushing yards per game.

The Buccaneers defense held Jones to a season-low 15 rushing yards in Week 6 when Green Bay played its worst game of the season in a 38-10 loss. Making matters worse for the Packers and running game is the return of Buccaneers DT Vita Vea (leg, IR). He’ll be on the field for his first action since Week 5. The impact of Vea’s return can’t be overstated: Only Aaron Donald (94.2) posted a better PFF grade than Vea (90.1) among 137 qualified interior defenders this season.

So, I see the Packers using Jones more in the short passing game and keeping the other two running backs active in the running game. If Jones is lined up in the slot or out wide more in this contest, he’ll almost certainly go over this reception yardage. That was the case against Tampa Bay in Week 6 when Jones lined up along the line of scrimmage as a receiver 14 times. Jones has been among the league’s top three running backs in average yards per route run in recent seasons. He was targeted five times and had 3 receptions for 26 yards against Tampa Bay in Week 6. But if he doesn’t get there in this conference championship game, I’ll be back on Jones as a receiver against the weaker defenses of the Chiefs or Bills in the Super Bowl. #GoPackGo.

You can bet on it.
