But even off the gridiron, nothing is safe from the unrelenting march of time, which continually brings us closer to our end. The latest news floating around football betting sites is a clear example that not even love is exempt from the ubiquitous rule of time.

The biggest NFL news floating around as we head into the weekend involve what many consider to be the NFL’s greatest quarterback, and his recent split from his love interest of over 3 years. Needless to say, Olivia Munn and Aaron Rodgers are no more.
Aaron it Out
Rodgers and Munn, a renowned Hollywood actress most recently known for her role in the X-men Apocalypse film, began dating at the end of 2014, three years after Rodgers took home the Vince Lombardi trophy. Although Rodgers was at the peak of his fame, when they first met, Munn was still relatively clueless as to who the quarterback truly was. With this in mind, it’s safe to say that fame played a little role in their relationship. In fact, one could argue the opposite; that fame played a wedging role in their relationship. Those who bet on NFL games and watch Rodgers’ interviews know that the Packers’ quarterback is more than reserved when it comes to discussing his personal life, or life away from the gridiron.
Only Super Bowl Rings Here
“They have amicably ended their relationship of three years,” a source allegedly close to the couple confirmed to PEOPLE exclusively. The source added that the couple ‘remains close friends and wish nothing but the best for each other moving forward.”
This announcement comes just months after tabloids blew a picture of Olivia Munn wearing an ‘engagement style’ ring on her left hand into a full Rodger-Munn engagement rumor. Granted, we all know that the left ring finger is reserved for a meaningful piece of jewelry, but in this case, it seems that the media has once again blown things out of proportion. In hindsight, it appears that the only vital ring involving these two is Rodgers’ Super Bowl ring.
Bachelor Woes
The heading isn’t a reference to Rodgers’ new struggles as a bachelor, but rather the unwanted attention Jordan Rodgers, Aaron’s younger brother, created when he participated on the Bachelorette.
On the show, an episode focused on the family life of Jordan Rodgers. Specifically, a scene was filmed over a family dinner which showed two empty seats, reserved for Aaron and his girlfriend. It was then slightly suggested and heavily speculated that Aaron’s family life was not so great, and outside sources believed Munn to be the wedge between the two parties. However, Rodgers always explicitly defended his girlfriend to the media, whilst informing them that his personal life is none of their business.
Still the Favorites
While there’s no doubt that this split affects Rodgers’ emotionally, the online NFL betting odds still expect the Packers to remain supreme. Take a look.
