Quarterback Aaron Rodgers promised to run the table and he is seeing to it personally that it gets done. This should be a high-scoring game with Green Bay winning 45-42.

AFC

NEW ENGLAND (15-2) over PITTSBURGH (13-5) 5:40 p.m. Sunday at Gillette Field in Foxborough, MA. (CBS))— The Steelers proved Sunday night that they could win a playoff game without scoring a touchdown. But that would result in disaster up in Foxborough. The six-point favored Patriots don’t seem to lose at home and they shouldn’t Sunday night, winning comfortably 36-23.
