Green Bay Packers
Packers fans were hoping that Aaron Rodgers leading the team to a thrilling comeback victory over the Chicago Bears in Week 1 would be the sign of many wins to come. Instead, the team has gone just 1-2-1 SU since then, tying Minnesota and losing both of its road games to Washington and Detroit.
The Packers welcome their bye week next week as a chance for Aaron Rodgers to rest his banged up knee, but things won’t get easier coming out of it with back-to-back road games against the Los Angeles Rams and New England Patriots.
Since 1996, Green Bay owns an 8-2 SU and 5-3-2 ATS record in 10 home games against San Francisco per the OddsShark NFL Database. Unfortunately for the Packers, both of those two losses have come in San Francisco’s last two trips to Lambeau Field.
San Francisco 49ers
This game was picked to be on Monday night for the potential of a Jimmy Garoppolo vs. Aaron Rodgers showdown, but that matchup went by the wayside when Garoppolo was lost for the season with a torn ACL. San Francisco hasn’t fared well without its star quarterback going 0-3 SU and 1-2 ATS since his injury to fall to 1-4 SU and ATS on the season.
San Francisco is 0-11 SU in its last 11 games as an underdog of nine points or more but has gone 4-1 ATS in its last five games as one.
Monday night’s total is set at 46.5 points. The OVER is 4-0 in San Francisco’s last four games.
This is a must-win game for Green Bay. With a stretch of four road games in five weeks coming up after the bye, the Packers can’t afford to let this chance at a win over the injury-riddled 49ers slip away.
