Finally, Aaron Rogers gets his wish: playing his first home game as the Green Bay Packers’ starting QB. However, I’m not so sure this is what Rogers had in mind. As a matter of fact, this will be the most significant/insignificant NFL Preseason game thus far, this of course, until Brett Favre makes his New York Jets home-debut Saturday against the Washington Redskins. Don’t wait to be part of the action, whom do you pick to have a better home-debut this week, Favre or Rogers?  At SportsBook.com, the Cincinnati Bengals are the betting odds underdogs in the money line (+140), and point spread (+3, -105), to Aaron Rogers and the Green Bay Packers (-160, -3). The 2008 edition of ESPN’s Monday Night Football kicks off with a (baby) blast tonight. Starting at 7 PM ET with Monday Night Countdown, followed the most anticipated meaningless game of the young Preseason: it's the birth of a new era in Green Bay. The OVER/UNDER in this Monday Night match-up between the Cincinnati Bengals at Green Bay Packers has been set at a total of 36 points. The 6’ 2”, 223-lb, 3rd year QB had this to say: “My job is going to be difficult either way. There’s a lot of pressure to just be a starting quarterback in this league… I’m still following in Brett’s legacy, regardless of the fact if he’s here, retired or like he is in New York now. There’s high expectations on myself, on our team and I think it’s still going to be difficult as far as the pressure outside this locker room that’s put on me.”
