San Fran 49ers -2.5(-110)
First post, small time gambler here but indeed, I am a loser. There was -1 and -2 available with juice early on but for the most part this is the number available now. I very much doubt this will stay at 2.5.
What I saw yesterday was an uneasy, frightened QB in A.Rodgers who quite frankly isn't ready to start a playoff game against a top notch defense. It's one thing to pick apart a poor Bears defense and throw a game winning TD against an incompetent safety in Chris Conte but it's completely another thing to pick apart a defense who, heading into the Cardinal game yesterday, has given up the fifth fewest yards per play this season(4.8). Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers is just flat out awful and needs to go, pronto. His defense has struggled in their last 3 games against the 49ers and this weekend will be no different, especially with LB Clay Mathews out and Nick Perry struggling with a foot injury. Wide Receiver Michael Crabtree's return makes San Fran that more dangerous and it's unrealistic to expect this Packer defense to hold this 49er offense to under 30 points. The weather is expected to be cold and snowy which is probably part of the reason why it's so low but I don't mind one bit because San Fran can ground and pound with the best of them. I wouldn't waste my hard earned cash on the Packers even at home, this just isn't the spot.
