Monday
49ers (1-4) @ Packers (2-2-1)— 49ers lost last three games, by 11-2-10 points; under Shanahan, they’re 6-3 as road underdogs, 1-1 this year. SF outgained Cardinals 447-220 LW, but turned ball over five times (-5) and lost 28-18 at home- their last four games went over total. Green Bay is 1-2-1 in its last four games; Crosby missed four FG’s/PAT last week in 31-23 loss. Packers are 2-0-1 at home, winning by 1-22 points; they’re 18-9-2 vs spread in last 29 games as a home favorites. Niners won four of last five series games, winning 30-22/23-20 in last two visits here- their last visit here was a 2013 playoff game. In their last three games, Packers outscored their opponents 36-10, but they’ve also trailed three games this year by 17+ points at halftime.

BREIDA DOUBTFUL

In keeping with an unfortunate trend of injured running backs, it appears as if San Francisco’s Matt Breida won’t play in Week 6 with coach Kyle Shanahan calling him doubtful with an ankle sprain. Breida left yesterday’s game in the second quarter, leaving the 49ers’ backfield work to Alfred Morris and Kyle Juszczyk, with Morris getting the early-down runs and Juszczyk working the passing downs.

San Francisco travels to Green Bay on Monday Night Football in Week 6 and you can guarantee that Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are going to be looking to put a big number on the board after being somewhat humiliated in Detroit on Sunday. The Niners will try to establish Morris early in the game but don’t be surprised to see them get behind quickly and turn to the pass, which would then expand Juszczyk’s role. Juszczyk had a break-out game with six catches for 75 yards on Sunday and we’ll be looking for him to go Over his receptions total once again on Monday night in a game where the Niners are likely to be chasing points.

MNF - 49ers at Packers
Kevin Rogers

LAST WEEK

The 49ers (1-4 SU, 1-4 ATS) suffered their third consecutive loss and fell to 0-2 without Jimmy Garoppolo as their starting quarterback. After a valiant effort in a two-point road loss to the Chargers as 10-point underdogs in Week 4, San Francisco was surprised at home by a previously winless Arizona squad, 28-18. However, the final score doesn’t tell the entire story at Levi’s Stadium.

San Francisco outgained Arizona, 447-220 in the yardage department, while holding the ball for over 40 minutes. The nail in the coffin for the 49ers was five turnovers, including three lost fumbles and a pair of interceptions thrown by quarterback C.J. Beathard, who finished with 349 yards through the air. The difference for this struggling Arizona team was a 75-yard touchdown connection between rookies Josh Rosen and Christian Kirk, while the Cardinals’ defense returned a fumble recovery for a score as the two teams combined for 26 fourth quarter points to finish OVER the total of 40 ½.

The Packers (2-2-1 SU, 2-3 ATS) are trying to find their footing following an up and down start as Green Bay fell behind early in a 31-23 setback at Detroit last Sunday. The Lions built a 24-0 halftime lead before the Packers made it interesting in the second half by outscoring Detroit, 23-7. The normally reliable Mason Crosby missed four field goals and an extra point for Green Bay, while the Packers also lost three fumbles in the defeat.

Crosby knocked down a field goal in the final seconds for a late morale boost, as the Packers have allowed 29 points or more in their three non-victories. Aaron Rodgers tossed up 442 yards and three touchdowns in the loss, the first game this season that the Green Bay star quarterback has thrown for at least 300 yards. The bad news is Green Bay suffered its first divisional loss in three tries this season, as Detroit and Minnesota are the only teams in the NFC North without a defeat to a divisional foe.

ROAD WOES

In Kyle Shanahan’s first season as head coach of the 49ers, San Francisco owned a solid 5-2 ATS record in the role of a road underdog. However, that number has not transferred over to the season as the Niners have stumbled to a 1-2 SU/ATS mark away from Levi’s Stadium (all as an underdog). Granted, the competition has been stiff by facing the Vikings, Chiefs, and Chargers with the only cover coming in a 29-27 setback at Los Angeles in Week 4 as 10-point underdogs. In the first eight weeks of the season dating back to 2015, the Niners own a dreadful 0-15 SU and 5-10 ATS record on the highway.

UNDER THE LIGHTS

The Packers have won in three of their last four appearances on Monday night football dating back to 2014. The only loss in this stretch came last season against the Lions at home, but Rodgers was out due to the collarbone injury he suffered three weeks prior. The last time Green Bay lost with Rodgers starting and ending a Monday night game came in the infamous “Fail Mary” loss to Seattle in 2012.

Who would have thought that the 49ers own a nine-game winning streak on Monday night dating back to 2010? It’s true, the last time San Francisco fell on a Monday night was back in Week 2 of 2010 in a 25-22 home setback to New Orleans. During this nine-game hot streak, the Niners have covered eight times, including recent underdog wins over the Rams (2016) and Vikings (2015). The Niners haven’t played a road Monday nighter since 2014, when San Francisco went into St. Louis and routed the Rams, 31-17.

HANDICAPPER’S CORNER

NFL expert Joe Nelson points out the Packers should get on track simply due to their success at Lambeau Field, “Green Bay is 27-9-1 SU at home since the start of the 2014 season with a 22-14-1 ATS run though there has been a short term 3-5 ATS slide since last October. Many of those late season losses last season came without Rodgers and while the two-time MVP has played most of the snaps this season, he hasn’t matched his career numbers while playing at less than 100 percent since sustaining a knee injury in Week 1.”

The running game will definitely be a factor in this contest as both these teams are sitting in the top-10, “San Francisco and Green Bay have had surprising success running the ball, sitting 4th and 9th respectively in yards per rush this season. San Francisco is also in the league’s top 5 in yards per rush allowed defensively. Both teams are also in the top 10 in yards per pass attempt allowed as the defenses have posted more successful numbers than expected,” Nelson notes.

My free play is on the Dal Stars at 7:35 ET.
The Dallas Stars have opened the 2018-19 season with three wins in their first four games, after erasing a three-goal deficit in subduing Anaheim 5-3 on Saturday. “It was a character win,” first-year Dallas head coach Jim Montgomery told reporters. “It shows they are playing hard for each other. I just loved how hard they came back. That building was rocking in the second (period).”Dallas hopes to snap a four-game losing streak against the Ottawa Senators tonight, after dropping a pair of OT contests last season. The Senators were thought to be by many, the worst team in the league heading into this season. However, after an easy 5-1 home victory over the Los Angeles Kings last Saturday, the Sens are 2-2-1, giving the team points in three of its first five games.
Alexander Radulov is the fourth player in franchise history to score at least one goal in four straight games to start the season, joining Mike Modano, Dino Ciccarelli and Tim Young. Radulov is second on Dallas with nine points, one behind Tyler Seguin (three goals / seven assists), with captain Jamie Benn (four goals) right behind him with eight and defenseman John Klingberg (three goals) recording five. Rookie Brady Tkachuk, the fourth overall pick in last June’s draft, has registered two goals and three assists in his first three NHL games for the Senators, after missing two due to injury. Ottawa has gotten plenty of production from its defense as Thomas Chabot leads the team with eight points shouldn't be able to beat the Senators here, especially while rookie Maxime Lajoie has collected three goals and three assists.
No reason why the Stars, especially with goalie Ben Bishop between the pipes. Bishop was rested on Saturday in favor of backup Anton Khudobi but will take the ice with a 9-0-4 record (.932 save percentage) against Ottawa in his career. The Senators are a "work in progress," as NINE of the players on the team's roster for Saturday's game, weren't with the team for Game No. 82 last season. Head coach Guy Boucher says the new group is "gelling fast" both on and off the ice. That may be true but "the puck stops" with Bishop. Take the road team.
Good luck...Larry
