49ers vs. Packers spread pick: SF +6
When these teams met in Week 3, the Packers emerged with a 30-28 victory that saw kicker Mason Crosby hit a 51-yard field goal as time expired. While the results of the first game play into the decision to go with the Niners to cover, it really comes down to how these teams have been playing recently.
The Packers secured the No. 1 seed in the NFC which earned them a first-round bye. While they are rested, they are coming into this game after a week off which could cause their offense to start slower than usual. Meanwhile, San Francisco played an all-around solid game against the Dallas Cowboys in the first round and is coming into this game with momentum.
While Aaron Rodgers and Davante Adams are likely going to be the focal point of this game, 49ers wide receiver/running back Deebo Samuel has emerged as a problem for opposing defenses that teams haven’t been able to solve yet.
