The Green Bay Packers will travel across the country to take on the San Francisco 49ers. Green Bay won the NFC North over Minnesota and Chicago, while the 49ers were winners of the NFC West. The Packers won their postseason opener last week over Minnesota, which came just a week after losing to them, to allow the Vikings into the postseason. The 49ers had a bye in the first round of postseason play, and finished the regular season with a win over the Arizona Cardinals. These two teams are seeded 2nd and 3rd in the NFC.

The Green Bay Packers were one of the top offensive teams in all of the NFL in 2012. The Packers scored 433 points in their 11-5 season. Aaron Rodgers was near the top in most passing categories, including over 4,200 yards and 39 touchdowns. Rodgers top receiver was Randall Cobb, with 84 receptions, while James Jones led the team with 14 touchdowns. The Packers started the season 2-3, and one of those losses was to Seattle on a last second place. Green Bay would love some revenge in the NFC title game.

The San Francisco 49ers would like a repeat of what happened during week one of the season. The 49ers went into Green Bay and downed the Packers. San Francisco has been mostly up this season, but a loss and a tie to St. Louis had many scratching their heads all season long. Collin Kaepernick has taken over the reigns at quarterback, and found the end zone 10 times via the pass and 5 times as a runner. The 49ers lost just one game at home all year, and that was to the New York Giants.

Free Prediction and Pick

This should be a fun football game. The 49ers have a great defense, and a young quarterback who is exciting at times. The Packers have the great offense, led by a future hall of famer in Aaron Rodgers. The Packers are coming off a season where they were upset in the first round of the postseason. Two seasons ago, the Packers won the Super Bowl. We like Green Bay to use a couple field goals to beat the 49ers in this game, including one to win the game.

Prediction: Green Bay Packers 30-27

In what should be an excellent postseason game in the National Football League, the San Francisco 49ers are a field goal favorite. We like these two teams to go at it with everything they got. Both teams have an outside chance of hosting the NFL title game, if Seattle can somehow come away with the upset win over Atlanta. We like the Packers to use a game winning drive, on the road to down the 49ers. We will take Green Bay +3 in this game.

Pick: Green Bay Packers +3
