Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers

Kick-off: Saturday, January 20 at 8:15 p.m. ET/5:15 p.m. PT
This is somewhat of a scary game for the 49ers. With a week off, they watched Green Bay run roughshod over Dallas on the road. The game wasn’t all that close, and the Packers demonstrated some immense firepower en route to the sizable win.
San Francisco will have to make life difficult for California native Jordan Love. Growing up only a few hours South in Bakersfield, he’ll surely be amped for this contest. The Niners will have to rely on its elite defensive line to disrupt Love and his timing. This could be a higher-scoring game than anticipated. If San Francisco can withstand any semblance of early momentum from the Packers, it should be able to ease into the game and control it from that point on. Brock Purdy will also have to take care of the football for this to happen.
Prediction: San Francisco 34, Green Bay 26
