According to some of the most loyal fans of A-Rod, there was a general sense of a mild superstition at work. Especially because Aaron had a similar look in his Super Bowl-winning year back in 2010. And fans think the new cut means another Lombardi Trophy for Wisconsin.

Can the haircut prove lucky for Aaron Rodgers in the divisional title decider?

The Detroit Lions are no joke this season. After losing six in a row in their first seven regular season fixtures, Jared Goff and the Detroit Lions have gone on an incredible run that puts them at 8-8 for the season as well. The Lions beat the Chicago Bears last night 41-10. And Aaron Rodgers will need all the luck on his side.

Detroit started to turn their season around when they faced Aaron Rodgers and the Packers in Week 8 this season. The Lions held the 2010 Super Bowl MVP and 4x NFL MVP’s offense to under 10 points and won 15-9. Aaron Rodgers has had his fair share of injury troubles this season. And overcoming the Lions defense with a bruised thumb, injured ribs and a knocked up knee will certainly prove to be an uphill task for the Packers QB.
