Most Valuable Player: Aaron Rodgers (Green Bay Packers)

The GOAT will get his third league MVP in 2018.

The great GOAT debate between Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers can be settled by this question: If you were to put Rodgers on the Patriots and Brady on the Packers, what happens?

Too many Lombardi trophies sent back to New England to count.

The Packers are nothing without Rodgers. In 2017, Green Bay was 4-1 with Rodgers, and after he got hurt, the team went 3-8.

Three of those wins came against two sub-par Bears and Tampa Bay Buccaneers teams and a winless Cleveland Browns team. And all of those games came down to the final minutes of regulation or overtime.
