Take #304 Packers/Niners Under
(NFL) Green Bay vs. San Francisco,
Total: 50.50 | -105.00 Under
Result: Win
Matt LaFleur and Kyle Shanahan met as assistant coaches with the Houston Texans in 2008, driven to pursue the kind of Super Bowl success experienced by Kyle's dad, Mike Shanahan, more than a decade earlier. LaFleur and his Packers trek to San Francisco to face Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers Saturday night for a spot in the NFC Championship game in a showdown of systems derived from the elder Shanahan's scheme. Based on what he already knows from days and hours by LaFleur's side and early film review during the bye week, Kyle Shanahan was not surprised by Green Bay's upset of No. 2 seed Dallas. The 48-32 victory featured a stellar showing from first-year starting quarterback Jordan Love, who narrowly missed a perfect passer rating with three touchdown passes and points on six of the first seven drives. We think Love will have some difficulty here vs a stout Niner D, and out in the elements instead of the comfort of AT&T Stadium. We also think the Niners do what they need to do to win the game and not show too many of their cards. Let's roll with the under.
