4-Star GREEN BAY +3 over San Francisco
We'll start the reasoning with a very compelling trend involving the fact that the 49ers are 12-4 and the Packers are 8-7-1. The reason why this one is in Green Bay rather than San Francisco is that the 49ers were the Wildcard behind the 13-3 Seahawks and the Packers were a division winner.
In the NFL playoffs, home teams with fewer wins than their opponent are a 18-8-1 ATS in the history of our database - including 8-2 straight up and 8-2 ATS recently. Even more compelling is the fact that home teams with at least three fewer wins on the season are a perfect 4-0 SU and ATS and these are worth checking out with this SDQL text:
playoffs=1 and o:wins - wins >= 3 and H
The four games include: the Patriots' 20-17 win over the Rams as a 14-point dog in the 2001 Super Bowl, the Chargers 23-17 win over the Colts in 2009, the 8-8 Seahawks huge 41-36 upset over the Saints as a double-digit dog in 2010 and The Broncos' 29-23 win over the Steelers as an 8.5-point dog led by Tim Tebow in 2012.
Teams in this spot have covered by an average of 13.4 ppg.
Fitting in perfectly here is the fact that the Packers themselves are 6-0 ATS versus any team with more wins after playing on the road, covering by an average of 15.3 ppg. Two of these wins came in the playoffs, as you can see by running this SDQL text:
team=Packers and o:wins>wins and p:A and date>=20101219
It is also worth mentioning that the Packers are 9-0 ATS at home after a road game in which fullback John Kuhn did not catch a pass, covering by an average of 16.6 ppg. The SDQL text is:
H and Packers:John Kuhn:receptions=0 and p:A and date>=20091201
Green Bay is 0-4 ATS at home after a road game in which John Kuhn DID catch a pass.
The 49ers have a lot of good numbers, and it would be easy to make a case for them by quoting stats. However, but a closer inspection reveals major flaws. San Francisco is 0-7 SU and 0-7 ATS on the road after a road win in which they had at least one TD pass. The SDQL text is:
team=Fortyniners and A and p:AW and p:PTD>0 and date>=20020101
In their last four in this spot, they scored 14, 16, 13 and 13 points respectively.
In their last two games, the Niners allowed Matt Ryan to throw for 348 yards and Carson Palmer to throw for 407 yards but won them both because they benefitted for a 2-0 takeaway margin in each. This is not a good sign. The Niners are 0-11 ATS on the road after a win in which they allowed at least 310 passing yards and a completion percentage of less than 75%. The SDQL text is:
team=Fortyniners and A and po:PY>=310 and p:W and po:CP<75 and date>=19981201
Note that the Niners are 0-7 SU their last seven and they scored 6, 3, 16, 14, 7, 13, and 3 points in these seven games respectively, the last of which was their 29-3 loss to the Seahawks this season. On the average, they have fallen short of the linesmakers' expectations by an average of MORE than two touchdowns. Brutal.
It certainly can be argued that the 49ers are better on paper, but this game isn't being played on paper, it is being played in Green Bay. Grab the three points.

5 Unit Play. #636 Take Wisconsin Badgers -6 over Iowa Hawkeyes (8 pm BTN) Both of these teams should be atop the standing in the Big Ten come March; however, getting this low of a number with Wisconsin at home is just too good to pass up. Wisconsin just does not lose very often at the Kohl Center under Bo Ryan and this will have extra motivation for this game as a former player now plays for Iowa.
