Why Bet on the San Francisco 49ers?
In the National Conference, the great favorite to reach the Super Bowl is the San Francisco 49ers, since there was no better team in the regular phase. Despite the 21-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in the last game, the 49ers finished with a 12-5 record, the second-best in the NFL.
That good level was supported by Brock Purdy’s excellent performances. The quarterback played 16 games, with 4,127 yards rushing and 31 touchdown passes, while only 11 interceptions were thrown his way. There is no doubt that Purdy had a fantastic year, but now the challenge is to translate his numbers to the postseason.
It must be said, the 49ers finished as one of the best offenses in the league, with 491 points. Their defense allowed only 298 units to opponents.
At home, San Francisco finished with five wins and three losses, so being in front of their fans could be a relevant tool to try to qualify for the conference finals.
On the injured list, the 49ers only announced George Odum, while Clelin Ferrell, Arik Armstead, Christian McCaffrey, Ambry Thomas, Tashaun Gipson, and Ji’Ayir Brown are questionable.
Why Bet on the Green Bay Packers?
The Green Bay Packers were a team to fight to enter the postseason, and so far, they have delivered, reaching the divisional series against the San Francisco 49ers. In the Wild Card, this franchise gave the surprise and overcame the Dallas Cowboys 48-32 as a visitor, with the excellent work of the quarterback Jordan Love.
The playmaker finished the night with 16 of 21 passes, 272 yards, and three touchdown passes, which was fundamental to eliminate Dallas, which had not lost at home during the regular season. Just as Love was important, Aaron Jones finished with 21 rushing attempts and three touchdowns on the ground.
In addition, the defense devoured Dak Prescott, who finished the game with two intercepted passes, a very high number for his regular records.
We must mention that Green Bay is on a hot streak, as they have won seven of their last ten games.
The latest medical report indicated that AJ Dillon is injured, while Jaire Alexander and Kingsley Enagbare are questionable.
