Packers at 49ers

Just like the Texans, I did not expect to see the Packers here. Oddly, they used the exact same formula to win: grabbing 2 INTs and getting 4 sacks while giving up 0 and 0. We calculate the INT at 7 points and the sack at 3; so these figures suggest an unbeatable points advantage.

Also like the Texans' they now take on the top seed. On paper it's another mismatch. But, hey, anything can happen, right?

Will the 49ers have the same problems as the Cowboys? 49ers are even better at ball control and I expect them to take better care of the football.

2023 through Week 17


      Rushes + Completions -- San Francisco 49ers

On offense, advantage 49ers. Leading the league on yards per pass attempt, our Killer Stat, Offense, they better the Packers at 12th.

San Francisco is stronger on defense too where the teams rank 4 and 18. See both teams on the defensive side of our Killer Stat, (Yards per Pass attempt) chart. Killer Stat, Defense. Packers handled the Cowboys who were top 10 on offense and defense. Now they get the 49ers who are top 4 on both. This stat, the most important in the game suggests a big win for the 49ers.

Our computer likes San Francisco by 15. I agree.
