Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers made the most of every opportunity he was given by the Rams' number-one ranked defence, throwing for 296 yards and two touchdowns. They will have the first selection in this year's National Football League draft.
Green Bay will be on an extra day of rest as it beat the visiting Los Angeles Rams 32-18 on Saturday in the Divisional Round.
The previous time the Packers hosted the conference championship game came in Brett Favre's final start for Green Bay at the end of the 2007 season in a 23-20 overtime loss to the Giants.
The Packers generated 118 yards rushing and 118 yards passing on first down.
Rodgers also ran for a score when he eluded Leonard Floyd with a pump fake before running it in from 1 yard.
They will play Tampa Bay Sunday at 2:05 p-m at Lambeau Field. Green Bay allowed no sacks and committed no turnovers.
-The Buffalo Bills will host the Baltimore Ravens at Saturday at 8:15pm.
If Vea's not ready to go this week and the Bucs win, he'd have two more weeks to get healthy for a possible appearance in Super Bowl LV. "It's a tough result and it's a tough finality to the season, but I don't think it takes away from how great they were and how instrumental they were in us even getting to this point as a team". The Packers are 9-0 ATS in their last nine games at home against teams with winning records. Brady threw five of his 12 interceptions in those games.
Thanks to an offensive explosion in the first month of the season in which Green Bay won all four games and hadn't scored less than 30 points, the Packers were considered to be the favorite - and were promptly blown out by the upstart Bucs.
