Many thought that since the Miami Dolphins quarterback led the voting, he would be a Pro Bowler this season, but that wasn't the case. Fans can only contribute 1/3 process of selecting players in the Pro Bowl, with the remaining 2/3 being contributed by the coaches and players around the NFL.

As a result, Tagovailoa missed out on his selection. This came as a shock to many fans, but Burrow, Mahomes, and Allen have played better than him this season.

As a result of Tua Tagovailoa's performance last week, the Dolphins are favored against the Packers this week:

San Francisco 49ers star running back Christian McCaffrey also missed out on the final roster of the Pro Bowl. That was a bigger surprise than the exclusion of Tua Tagovailoa. However, both of them could still find themselves at the event if their respective teams fail to reach the Super Bowl.

The Miami Dolphins are currently on a three-game losing streak and have fallen to 8-6. Their playoff hopes could take a significant hit if they don't win their game against the Packers this week.

Miami will be playing the Packers at home and that will bring the best out of their quarterback. Although Tagovailoa managed to play well in harsh snowy conditions in Buffalo, he'll like it better at home in Miami.

Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are currently on a two-game winning streak and are still alive in the race to the playoffs. They need to win all of their remaining games and are likely to give the Dolphins a run for their money.

Although the Dolphins are favored in this game, it won't be a surprise if Aaron Rodgers and the Packers come away with a win. However, the former Alabama quarterback will be determined to snap his team's losing streak this week.
