Blitzalytics Analysis
Line San Francisco (-7.5) Over/Under 45 Against the Spread - Green Bay (11-6) San Francisco (10-7)
Both teams played well in their divisional playoff games at home last week. Now Green Bay must travel to the west coast to play against the 49ers. This will be a rematch of the week 12 matchup that saw San Francisco trounce the Packers at home 37-8. As of now the glaring weakness is the Green Bay defense which gives up almost 70 yards more per game than the Niners do. This does not bode well for the Kyle Shanahan offense that scores 30 points a game. On the other side of the ball, Aaron Jones has been the cornerstone of the Packer offense accounting for 19 touchdowns this year.
The Degenerate Menace Says: Ah yes, the infamous fighting computer outcomes. One set calls for Green Bay and one calls for San Francisco. So what am I thinking? Usually, the better rushing team covers in these situations. Crap. Minnesota was the better rushing team against San Francisco and we know how that ended up. You know what? Let’s go with the more experienced quarterback. Garappolo has not been in this situation before. Let’s call from a Discount Double Cover.
Predicted Score: San Francisco 24 - Green Bay 20
