7 Unit* Play.*#270/#242 Take San Francisco 49ers +9 over Green Bay Packers (Sunday 4:25 pm FOX)
TOP NFL GAME OF THE WEEK.
*I always like to play home underdogs of seven or more points, and I fully expect a much better effort by the 49ers today in Santa Clara, CA. San Francisco has looked terrible in back-to-back road games, but I am a big believer that there is not much carryover from week to week in the NFL and every week is completely different. Green Bay is not the same team on the road as they are when playing at Lambeau Field, and sooner or later their injuries will catch up with them. QB Rodgers will still have his moments in this game, but I just do not see it being a rout as Green Bay struggled to put away the Bears in Week 1.
Green Bay will head west on a short week, and this is a team they have not had any success against losing to San Francisco four straight times. San Francisco is 3-0 ATS in the last six years when they have been a home underdog. QB Colin Kaepernick has been awful of late, but Green Bay is a team he has had great success against, and I expect him to be able to move the football with his arm or his legs. Green Bay still does not have a good defense, and if the 49ers can hang onto the football I see this game going down to the wire. Green Bay has not won in San Francisco (Santa Clara) since 2006, and while that streak may end on Sunday, it will only come by a couple of points.
