Rodgers, who has won MVPs in 2011 and 2014, sits in a tie for the second-best odds at 8:1. Rodgers is tied at that value with Colts quarterback Andrew Luck, and both of them trail favorite Patrick Mahomes at 4:1.Interestingly, Packers receiver Davante Adams also shows up on the list at 200:1 odds.Now, the Packers are always one of the more popular bets in Vegas. That typically drives their odds down on futures bets, such as winning the Super Bowl or making the playoffs. Likewise Aaron Rodgers Jersey , Rodgers’ odds here are probably helped by popularity somewhat.Still, it is striking to see him so close to the top of the leaderboard, given his struggles (comparatively speaking, at least) in the last few years. The last season that Rodgers was a legitimate MVP candidates was back in 2016, however, when he eventually lost out to Matt Ryan. So perhaps it is a happy coincidence that the man who was Ryan’s position coach that year — LaFleur — is now Rodgers’ head coach.Making the postseason is practically essential to winning an MVP award; in fact, the last AP MVP award winner from a team that missed the playoffs was O.J. Simpson in 1973. The Packers currently have an over/under of 9 for total wins, however, suggesting that books and bettors believe that they will be very much in the playoff hunt at the end of the season. The Packers see the second round pick as an interior lineman Randall Cobb Color Rush Jersey , just not at the position he played in college." />Skip to main contentclockmenumore-arrownoyesHorizontal - WhiteAcme Packing Companya Green Bay Packers communityLog In or Sign UpLog InSign UpFanpostsFanshotsSectionsPackersOddsAboutMastheadCommunity GuidelinesStubHubMoreAll 322 blogs on Horizontal - WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections The APC PodcastPackers Film RoomFantasy Football AdviceCDTShareTweetShareShareFriday Cheese Curds: Elgton Jenkins will be on guard, not the center of attention Chuck Cook-USA TODAY SportsWhen the Green Bay Packers drafted Elgton Jenkins in the second round in April, it was widely assumed he was going to be a guard but the fact Jenkins played center his final two years in college had some (like me) wondering if he could also be the new backup center.Well, the answer has been clearly revealed and Jenkins is going to be a guard for the Packers and Lucas Patrick will likely be the team’s backup center.The move makes sense in that Jenkins has fewer assignments to learn and will allow him to more easily adjust to the speed of NFL defensive linemen without having to survey the entire field. This means Lane Taylor could have to fight for his starting job thanks to the team also adding Billy Turner in free agency in addition to selecting Jenkins early in the draft.Taylor is signed through next year but could find himself supplanted by Jenkins should he struggle to learn Matt LaFleur’s offense.Regardless, more depth along the offensive line is never a bad thing and the Packers are much deeper now than they were a year ago.Packers notes: Rookie lineman Elgton Jenkins staying focused at guard—PackersNews.comLaFleur said Jenkins may dabble at center at some point, but right now the team views him strictly as a guard. Interestingly, Cole Madison did get some work at center during OTAs with Corey Linsley out so it will be interesting to see how this plays out in training camp.

Cutting out sweets cut his body fat nearly in half, which is a good thing if he’s going to be the featured back this season.Packers counting on development from second-year receivers—Packers WireThe Packers didn’t add a veteran wide receiver in free agency https://www.thepackersfanshop.com/Corey-Linsley-Jersey , which means the team must be high on their second-year receivers. Equamineous St. Brown, J’Mon Moore and Marquez Valdes-Scantling will be called upon to step up with Randall Cobb gone and Geronimo Allison returning from injury.Packers’ Rashan Gary shows off versatility (and speed, size, athleticism)—ESPNSacks, schmacks. Gary turned heads during the open OTA practices and it’s easy to see why coaches are so high on him despite an unimpressive stat line from college.Duvets discarded, cushions thrown at Japan’s Pillow Fighting Championship—ReutersPillows may be soft, but they can hurt if swung hard enough.
