Beating the Spread: San Francisco@Green Bay Preview and Prediction

Will Jimmy G. start?
Publish Date: 01/21/2022
Fact checked by: Simon Briffa
SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA - SEPTEMBER 26: Jaire Alexander #23 of the Green Bay Packers intercepts a pass intended for George Kittle #85 of the San Francisco 49ers during the second quarter in the game at Levi's Stadium on September 26, 2021 in Santa Clara, California.

The Packers beat the 49ers 30-28 on a last-second field goal in San Francisco on Sept. 26, starting a four-game skid for the 49ers. The teams are 4-4 all-time in the postseason, but San Francisco has won the previous three playoff contests. The most recent was San Francisco’s 37-20 victory in the NFC Championship Game on Jan. 19, 2020. The 49ers also won the most recent playoff game in Green Bay, Wisc., a 23-20 decision on Jan. 5, 2014. The 49ers completely outplayed the Cowboys but almost lost the game because of two high school mistakes by Jimmy G. You had a fourth-quarter interception and an illegal procedure penalty because Jimmy G. failed to wait until Trent Williams was set to snap the ball.

Is Jimmy G Healthy?

In 15 regular-season games, Garoppolo was 301-for-441 passing (68.3%) for 3,810 yards, 20 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Not great numbers, but Jimmy always seems to find a way to win, he also always makes it interesting because of a stupid mistake or two, and that cannot be the case if the Niners are to win this game. Jimmy Garoppolo has been playing with a torn ligament in his right thumb. Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Garoppolo suffered a “slight” sprain in his right (throwing) shoulder Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys. My sources tell me that Garappolo is hurting, and his status could be up in the air for the game, which is why this game has jumped to the Packers -6. If Trey Lance plays, the Niners have little to no chance of winning the game or even covering the spread. If Jimmy Garoppolo is limited, the likely hood of winning is also minimal.

Can Bosa and Warner go?

Nick Bosa suffered a concussion in last weekend’s win over the Dallas Cowboys, and Fred Warner sustained an ankle injury. The status for both is up in the air for Saturday night’s game. If either of them is out, the Niners will be in a lot of trouble defensively. On the other hand, the 49ers could cause matchup issues for the Packers offense if both can play.

Can the 49ers slow down the Packers run game?

Green Bay has a balanced running attack led by AJ Dillon (187 carries, 903 yards, five TDs) and Aaron Jones (171 carries, 799 yards, four TDs). If these two get going, Aaron Rodgers will have a huge game and cause issues all day long that the 49ers would have no answers for. If the Niners can contain the Packers run game, they can then let a hopefully healthy Nick Bosa go after Aaron Rodgers, and Bosa is as good as anybody playing the game when it comes to rushing the passer.

Prediction

The injuries here will be too much to overcome; even if all three play they will not all be 100 per cent. The Packers are too good to bet when you are playing short-handed. Pick Packers -6.
