49ers at Packers: One of the greatest games ever played the 98 wild-card matchup between Steve Young, Terrell Owens, Jerry Rice and the Niners against Brett Favres two-time defending NFC champion Packers involved these two franchises. Expect FOX to break out the ol archived footage from that one, including Youngs winning touchdown pass to T.O. and a weeping Owens on the sideline after (finally) holding onto a pass. Packers fans might be the ones weeping after this one, though, as I see Troy Smith and the Niners pulling the rare road upset at Lambeau on six days of rest. Who had Smith, Brian Westbrook and Anthony Dixon leading the Niners to a division title? Anyone? Hello? I can see it happening. The complete and utter lack of a Packers rushing offense is going to haunt Green Bay in December and January.
The Pick: 49ers 24, Packers 20
