T.M. Selection: San Francisco 49ers.

I like the San Francisco 49ers to cover the spread against the Green Bay Packers in this game on Saturday. The 49ers have really looked good in their games lately and are rolling hot as they enter this game. They have won 3 games in a row and have taken down the Rams and the Cowboys in their 2 most recent games. They have already shown their resilience when their back's against the wall, coming back from a 17 point deficit in their final game of the regular season to beat the Rams just so they could get in the playoffs. Then in their last game they had a very strong start and jumped out to a big lead in the 1st half, holding it for the rest of the game and going on to win that game too, winning both as underdogs. They have a lot of weapons on their offense and Garoppolo has looked great lately. I think he is going to move their offense well here and I expect their defense to get after Rodgers in this game too. Their defense has looked really good lately and I think they can do enough to slow Rodgers and the Packers offense down here. The Packers will be rested here but I think they will get off to a slower start here and I think the 49ers can capitalize on that opportunity. The 49ers played a very physical game against the Cowboys and I don't think the Packers will be ready right off the bat for what they are going to be in for with the 49ers here. I expect the 49ers to be physical all game and beat up on the Packers slowing the game down and making them more tired. They may not be able to get the best of the Packers here but I think they can do enough to keep this game close and cover the spread. I like the 49ers to cover the spread here.

T.M. Prediction: 27-24 49ers.
