The over/under line for total points scored in the game was set at 60, according to online bookmaker Bovada. It’s hardly surprising that the game is expected to be a shootout, matching two of the hottest quarterbacks in football—the Packers’ Aaron Rodgers and the Falcons’ Matt Ryan (pictured, above). The teams also faced off in 2014, when they combined for 80 points, in a 43-37 win for the Packers at Lambeau Field.
