RODGERS OVERCOMES MAHOMES | Morelos newspaper

The Green Bay quarterback exhibited one of his best games in the NFL and raised the stakes

Green Bay.- On the eve of Week 17, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is a favorite for the NFL’s Most Valuable Player of the season award. Rodgers was behind +450 to take the award in recent weeks, behind Kansas City Chiefs player Patrick Mahomes, who had been the favorite since November. But after Rodgers burned the Tennessee Titans Sunday night in the snow, he passed Mahomes and is a favorite for the award for the first time this season. Rodgers is -260 on the Caesars Sportsbook by William Hill, followed by Mahomes, whose line went from -400 to +210 after Week 16. Rodgers completed 21 of 25 passes for 231 yards and four touchdowns in the Packers’ 40-14 win. over the Titans on Sunday. He leads the NFL with 44 touchdown passes and has a significant road game this weekend against the Chicago Bears.

Mahomes and the Chiefs, on the other hand, achieved the highest seed in the AFC for the playoffs and would potentially lay their franchise quarterback against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Packers would claim to be first in the NFC with a victory Sunday against the Bears.
