Packers (-6.5) @ 49ers: O/U 48.5
ATS: Packers: 5–2, 49ers: 4–4
O/U: Packers: 5–2, 49ers: 4–4
A rematch of last year’s NFC Championship game has significantly less intrigue than many would’ve imagined, in large part due to injuries to both teams. The Packers enter this one following a bad loss to the Vikings, and due to Covid/injuries, are extremely limited with their RBs. The 49ers have injury woes of their own all over their roster.
I’m going with the Packers giving 6.5 points. The 49ers dominated them twice last year, and it’s definitely a trend that strong, physical teams push the Packers around. Ultimately, I don’t think the 49ers have enough on either side of the ball to hang with Aaron Rodgers, despite their strong ground game.
