Packers-49ers Line Opens at San Francisco -10
The Green Bay Packers once again find themselves hefty underdogs in the division round on January 20. The line in this game opened at San Francisco -10.
The Packers beat heavily favored Dallas behind a near flawless performance from Jordan Love in the wildcard playoffs. The Cowboys hovered between a -7 and -7.5 favorite during the days leading up to this game.
"Man, Jordan Love, wow," Packers coach Matt LaFleur said. "That's about all I can say is 'wow.' What he did and the poise he shows, the command he shows ... It just shows the growth that he's had from his first start vs. K.C. [in 2021] to now. Just so proud and happy for him. He's a dude. He is a real dude."
Love completed 16-of-20 attempts for 272 yards and three touchdowns in the Packers upset win. He also became the first quarterback to post a perfect QB rating in his first postseason start.
"We believed in him from the beginning," said running back Aaron Jones, whose three touchdowns Sunday gave him nine in four career games against the Cowboys. "We know it's a process. That's not all on him."
The Packers face the daunting task of beating the odds-on favorite to win the 2024 Super Bowl much of the regular season.
The Niners clinched the NFC top seed after getting touchdown catches from Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk and a rushing TD from Elijah Mitchell.
Brock Purdy, had previously thrown four interceptions in a home loss to Baltimore. Against the Commanders he was 22 of 28 for 230 yards to reach 4,280 and break Jeff Garcia’s season franchise record of 4,278 set in 2000.
We have the number on this game San Francisco 9.95. You can't get a more accurate line here.
