GREEN BAY, Wisc. – The San Francisco 49ers visit the Green Bay Packers as 3.5-point underdogs this week. This is the first time this season that the 49ers are listed by legal sports betting sites as an underdog. The Packers will either be facing a limited Brock Purdy or his backup Brandon Allen.
Green Bay is 4-6 this season ATS and 2-4 ATS when playing as the favorite.
Jordan Love Under 247.5 Passing Yards -115
The Packers have relied on Jordan Love to air the ball downfield this season but the 49ers have one of the toughest defenses that Green Bay has faced this year. Out of his eight games played, Love has only gone under this legal NFL betting line four times. He is averaging 260 passing yards per game.
San Francisco’s defense has only allowed a quarterback to throw for over 247 yards in one of their last six games. Opposing quarterbacks have averaged 206 passing yards per game in these six weeks.
Christian McCaffrey Over 74.5 Rush Yards -115
The Green Bay Packers have struggled to stop the run over the last couple of weeks and face their toughest challenge of the season this week. Christian McCaffrey only had 13 carries for 39 yards in his first game of this season but saw an increased role in the run game last week against Seattle.
McCaffrey finished that game with 79 yards on 17 carries. Over the last four weeks, the Bears have allowed 71 yards on 14 carries to D’Andre Swift, 78 yards on 18 carries to Tank Bigsby, 115 yards on 25 carries to Mixon, and David Montgomery + Jahmyr Gibbs combined for 138 yards on 28 carries.
