3. Packers

Head coaches always love the opportunity to face their former team, and if the Green Bay Packers happen to face the Rams in the playoffs, one can only imagine the level of excitement there would be for Matt LaFleur.

Two years ago, LaFleuer played a key role in helping Los Angeles emerge with one of the top offenses in the NFL during the 2017 season when he was under McVay as the offensive coordinator.

After spending the 2018 season in the same position with the Tennessee Titans, LaFleur was hired as the new head coach in Green Bay this offseason with the hope that he could bring out the best in Aaron Rodgers and the rest of the offense.

Through two games, the Packers look like the team from a few years ago in which they always seemed to be a lock for a playoff spot, and if Green Bay does extend their season into January, this is the last team anyone is going to want to play, including Los Angeles.

Rodgers is one of those quarterbacks who always seems to elevate his game to new levels come playoff time, and even though it’s only been two games, this Packers team already seems determined for a run.
