It's a battle between two of the league's most storied franchises when the Green Bay Packers visit the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday Night Football. The Packers (5-2) have won four Super Bowls, while the 49ers (4-4) have five titles and played for another last season. The 49ers beat Green Bay in the NFC title game to get there, but they lost to the Chiefs. Both teams are dealing with a laundry list of injuries and quarantines, but they still have high expectations.
Kickoff is scheduled for 8:20 p.m. ET at Levi's Stadium. William Hill lists Green Bay as a seven-point favorite in the latest Packers vs. 49ers odds, while the over-under for total points scored is 48. Before making any 49ers vs. Packers picks, check out what SportsLine's resident Green Bay expert, R.J White, has to say.
CBS Sports' NFL editor, White enters Week 9 as SportsLine's hottest expert. He's on a sizzling 27-14 run against the spread that's returned his followers $1,145. And it's no surprise, as White twice has cashed huge in the world's most prestigious football handicapping competition, the Las Vegas SuperContest.
In addition, White has a particularly keen eye for the Packers. In fact, he is an astounding 39-8 in his last 47 spread picks for or against the Packers. Anyone who has followed his NFL picks is way up.
Now, White has looked at Packers vs. Niners from every possible angle. You can head to SportsLine to see his picks. Here are the NFL odds from William Hill and trends for Niners vs. Packers:
- Packers vs. 49ers spread: Green Bay -7
- Packers vs. 49ers over-under: 48
- Packers vs. 49ers money line: Green Bay -300, San Francisco +250
- GB: QB Aaron Rodgers has thrown for at least 283 yards in five of the seven games.
- SF: Rookie WR Brandon Aiyuk has 14 catches for 206 yards over the past two games.
Why the Packers can cover
Green Bay is 6-0 against the spread after its last six straight-up losses, tied for the longest active streak in the NFL. Rodgers gives the Packers a chance to win big in any game and is having a vintage season. He has thrown for 1,948 yards and is third in the NFL with 20 TD passes.
Rodgers threw three to Davante Adams in last week's loss to the Vikings, and the receiver has been a huge weapon. He has 43 catches for 502 yards and five scores in five games.
The Packers are 4-1-1 against the spread in their last six Thursday games, and while the defense has been maligned, especially against the run, it ranks 11th in the league in total yards (346.6 per game). Due to injuries in the Niners' backfield, Packers linebacker Za'Darius Smith (six sacks) and the front should be able to focus on 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens, and San Francisco has allowed 22 sacks this season.
Why the 49ers can cover
San Francisco is 4-1 against the spread in its last five games as a home underdog, and quarterback Nick Mullens could have a big day against a meager pass rush. Since 2018, Mullens leads all QBs in yards per attempt (9.6) when not pressured, and Green Bay averages 8.0 pressures per game, fewest in the NFL.
It is likely to be up to Jamycal Hasty to carry the running game, and the undrafted rookie has 113 yards (4.4 per carry) over the past three games. The Niners, who are 12-6 against the spread in non-division games since the start of last season, should be able to make Rodgers beat them. The Packers' run game is banged up, and the San Francisco defense allows just 209 passing yards per game. Fred Warner is the leader of the unit and has two of the team's eight interceptions.
