Don't care what the "experts" say weather conditions = advantage Packers.
Mike Ditka and Sterling Sharpe are only 2 "analysts" who are picking Packers.
I suddenly like The Packers chances to win.
Everybody is just waiting for The Defense to fail!!!
What is fail?
Hold the 49rs under what #?
Did Colts defense fail yesterday giving up 44 pts?
Did Saints defense fail holding Eagles to 24 pts?
Been saying it all year, today's NFL is all about SCORING!!!!
As much as I want to see Eddie Lacy and James Starks punishing The 49r defense, IMHO, the key to victory is turning Aaron Rodgers and his playmakers loose and DON'T LET UP!!!!
As we all saw yesterday NO LEAD is large enough.
This game will be won through the air, Packers offense has to be almost perfect, no turnovers, convert 3rd downs, extend drives, keep 49rs offense off the field.
Doesn't matter what happened the previous 17 weeks, EVERYBODY has the same record starting yesterday.
Win the turnover battle, win time of possession, control both lines of scrimmage, it's a simple game when you break it all the way down.
Packers 42 - 49rs 38
edit:
Wild, wild-card games: The matchup of the Packers (8-7-1) and the 49ers (12-4) is the fifth time in wild-card history that one team has had at least four fewer regular-season wins than its opponent.
It may come as a surprise that in the previous four games, the team with the fewer regular-season wins has won every time. It last happened in 2011, when the Denver Broncos (8-8) beat the Pittsburgh Steelers (12-4).
I was addicted to The Hokey Pokey, but I turned myself around!
