Why the Packers can cover
Packers receiver Davante Adams has been superb against San Francisco during his career, making 48 catches for 618 yards and five touchdowns in five meetings. Adams registered 132 or more receiving yards in four of those contests, including Green Bay’s 30-28 road victory in Week 3 in which he had a season-high 12 receptions for 132 yards and a TD.
While the 49ers have a dual threat on offense in wideout Deebo Samuel, the Packers have one of their own in Aaron Jones. The 27-year-old running back gained 799 yards this season, finishing four behind A.J. Dillon for the team lead, and also was second with a career-high 52 receptions for 391 yards. While Adams topped Green Bay with 11 touchdowns in 2021, Jones was a close second with 10, including six through the air, which matches the total from his first four NFL seasons.
Why the 49ers can cover
San Francisco has plenty of recent postseason success against the Packers, getting past them in the Niners’ last three trips to the NFL playoffs. The 49ers were victorious at home in the 2012 divisional round and 2019 conference championship game, while winning in Green Bay in the 2013 wild-card round. They’re optimistic about their chances for a fourth straight playoff win over the Packers, as key injured stars appear to be healing.
The 49ers’ defense was third overall (310 yards) during the regular season, sixth against the pass (206.5), seventh versus the run (103.5) and fifth in sacks (48).
