San Francisco vs Green Bay Stats

San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers face a challenging final stretch of the season with many NFC teams ahead of them in the standings. Despite a recent loss breaking a two-game winning streak, the 49ers have shown strong offensive stats, ranking second in the NFL in total yards per game and fourth in passing offense. However, their recent loss saw a dip in offensive production, with quarterback Brock Purdy having a season-low passing yardage and running back Christian McCaffrey limited in yardage. Left tackle Trent Williams expressed the need for the team to improve their execution and scoring output. On the defensive side, the 49ers have shown improvement, allowing just 289 yards and recording four sacks in their last game. Defensive end Nick Bosa leads the team in sacks. The team has a power ranking of 12 and are ranked eighth in offense, 18th in defense, and have a 5-5 record for the season.

The Green Bay Packers are currently third in the NFC North but are in a strong position in sixth place in the conference.

Packers vs. 49ers: Can Green Bay Capitalize on San Francisco's Injuries?

The most recent encounter between these teams took place earlier this year during last season's divisional playoffs, where the Niners emerged victorious with a 24-21 win at home as -10.5 favorites. San Francisco is facing a different set of circumstances this time, grappling with injuries to key players like Bosa and Williams. Their availability remains uncertain, posing potential challenges for the team. San Francisco's defense is particularly adept at stopping the run, which could create opportunities for Love to capitalize on his consistent performance this season. With Love demonstrating reliable yardage production in nearly every game this season, he could prove to be a formidable force against the 49ers. As long as Green Bay can maintain ball security, their solid ATS record of 3-1 in recent games against San Francisco suggests a favorable outcome for the Packers. Therefore, it may be prudent to consider supporting the Packers in this matchup.
