Closed the regular season with a bad week 17, but crazy things happen, especially in week 17.
Green Bay is entering these playoffs with only 8 wins. Teams with less than 9 wins are perfect 6-0 ATS in week 18 WCR, winning 5 of those 6 games outright as underdogs. The Packers have 4 wins less than 49ers and these teams are 3-0 straight up and against the spread in first week of playoffs, winning all three games as home underdogs. Finally, here is one more piece of info that I found in my research for this week: First round playoffs favorites are 0-7 ATS if they won as favorites in same season head to head meeting in first 12 weeks of the season. The Packers are not only looking to avenge their week 1 loss to 49ers, but also their loss from last year playoffs. Both those losses came in San Francisco, while they are at home this week. The Niners are playing back-to-back road games after winning a close one on short rest last week. Very cold weather expected. Should help the Pack.
Green Bay +3
