Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers took a blowtorch to the Packers’ front office when he reported to training camp this week. Now, after speaking his mind during a surreal press conference and publicly unloading months of frustration at his employers, it’s time for the 2020 NFL MVP to get back to work and produce numbers similar or better to the ones from last season.
Rodgers completed 70.7% of his attempts and threw for 4,299 yards and 48 TDs last season, against just 5 interceptions. His arrival to camp trigged a flood of new NFL betting props and NFL futures wagers.
Here's a look at five Aaron Rodgers props to fade or back for the 2021 season at sportsbooks and betting sites.

Rodgers came from nowhere to dominate the MVP discussion over the second half of the 2020 season. He was +400 with a month to go in the season and still won in a romp. The Packers finished 13-3, and fell short in the NFC championship to Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 31-26.
That frustrating fail set off a tsunami of ill will, media leaks and bad vibes that left Rodgers’ fate uncertain for fans and bettors until Monday of this week. Rodgers' odds to repeat as NFL MVP had bounced to +2000 when rumors hit last weekend that he would sit out. Now he is +1000 at DraftKings .
There’s already a swell of emotion in Rodgers’ corner. But he’s taken on an extra burden as de facto GM, in much the same way Brady has done in Tampa Bay. Rodgers has made it clear that he’s going to have input in player decisions. Therefore, he’s going to be held responsible for the team’s outcome, and not just his own.
Rodgers has an arsenal of offensive personnel at his disposal. But the competition for this award in 2021 is fierce. Rodgers is a terrific QB, the second-best of this century, but he won’t be MVP this season.
Fade or back? FADE
