Green Bay Packers: 5 Aaron Rodgers Over/Under Predictions

The Packers' new gunslinger is more than just that.

However, in throwing for over 12,000 yards with 86 TDs the past three seasons, Rodgers has arguably become one of the most prolific passers in all of football.

Now he stands at the doorstep of becoming a Green Bay legend.

With the likes of Bart Starr and Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers has the potential to not only join their fraternity, but also surpass their legendary status.

However, doing so will be no easy task. Especially against the "Steel Curtain" defense of Pittsburgh.

With that being said, here are five over/under predictions for Aaron Rodgers come Feb. 6, 2011.

1. Over/Under 225 Passing Yards

When the Packers and Steelers faced off in Pittsburgh at the end of the 2009 season, Rodgers completed 26-of-48 passes for 383 yards and three TDs with no picks.

I know part of the reason was because Pittsburgh safety Troy Polamalu was out, which is a damper to the Steeler D.

However, Pittsburgh has not faced a legitimate passing offense since Tom Brady and the New England Patriots back in mid-November.

And with how the Packer O has played throughout the postseason, Rodgers and the Pack air attack will be no easy task.

PREDICTION: Over 225 passing yards

2. Over/Under 2.5 TD Passes

Six TD passes in three playoff games for Rodgers, and three given up by the Steelers in two games.

Packer WRs are stacking up the receiving yardage, but in the NFC Championship game, Chicago was able to pick off Rodgers twice and slow things down a bit.

Pittsburgh, for the most part, shut down Ravens' QB Joe Flacco, but took a step back by allowing two TDs and 233 yards from Jets' QB Mark Sanchez.

So both sides slightly faltered last week, but that is now irrelevant since the Lombardi Trophy is now at stake.

This one is tough, but something has to give come Super Sunday.

PREDICTION: Under 2.5 TD passes

3. Over/Under .5 Interceptions

Previously I mentioned the Packers-Steelers game from 2009 where A-Rod threw three TDs with no picks (while Troy Polamalu sat out).

And last week Rodgers was picked off twice, once by Brian Urlacher.

Thus far in the postseason the Steelers have only managed one interception (coming against Joe Flacco in the divisional round).

The Pittsburgh pass D definitely needs to step up and Rogers needs to bounce back from last week.

I'm going to be defensive bias on this one because unless Joe Montana is at the helm, one pick will most likely happen.

PREDICTION: Over .5 interceptions

4. Over/Under 2.5 Times Sacked

In the regular season and postseason, the Steelers have averaged just over three sacks per game.

As for Rodgers, he has only been sacked an average of just over once per game.

The key here will be if Rodgers is able to extend plays with his mobility due to sack masters LaMarr Woodley and James Harrison.

Aaron will easily be the most elusive QB Pittsburgh has faced all season, which is to his advantage.

In the 2009 matchup, the Steel Curtain only sacked Rodgers once, but came out with the victory.

PREDICTION: Under 2.5 times sacked

5. Over/Under a 100 Passer Rating

Currently Rodgers leads all QBs in the playoffs with a 109.2 passer rating.

In the regular season, he finished third with a rating of 101.2.

And after the 2009 regular season matchup against the Steelers, Rodgers posted a mark of 101.3.

But regardless of who you are, the Super Bowl brings out either the best or the worst in QBs.

Rodgers has a lot of football left in him and Super Bowl XLV will be his time to shine.

PREDICTION: Over a 100 passer rating
