The top-seeded Green Bay Packers (13-3) will welcome the sixth-seeded Los Angeles Rams (10-6) to Lambeau Field for the NFC Divisional Round on Saturday. The winner will advance to play either the New Orleans Saints or Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the NFC Championship Game.
As the No. 1 seed, the Packers enjoyed a first-round bye last week. The Rams upset the third-seeded Seattle Seahawks on the road in the NFC Wild Card Round, although both Aaron Donald (rib) and Cooper Kupp (knee) were injured during the victory.
The playoff game in Green Bay will feature eight All-Pros, including six first-team All-Pros, two quarterbacks with Super Bowl experience, and two of the brightest young coaches in the NFL. It also features Aaron Rodgers, who will likely win his third MVP, against Donald, who could win his third Defensive Player of the Year award.
Here are five things to watch and a prediction for Saturday’s playoff showdown at Lambeau Field:
