Ahead of the NFL dream clash between Bucs and Packers, fans debate which superstar has an advantage on Super Sunday. NFL analyst Kay Adams said Tom Brady has an upper hand in Florida ahead of Aaron Rodgers. The 36-year-old said A-Rod does not play his best game when he is in Florida.
“It’s just something that I’ve been collecting over the years. It’s a secret. Aaron Rodgers can’t take the heat. In Rodgers’ last 34 regular season games he has a total of 10 interceptions. In his career, Rodgers has played eight games in the Sunshine State and tossed 11 picks,” Adams said.

The other one doesn’t like playing in Florida,” the experienced analyst added.
