Sunday's Play The Cali-Cartel has a 50 Dime play on San Francisco at home over Green bay. The 49ers are -7 1/2 as I put my site live at 4:45 am eastern. At this price (and anywhere down to -6), my years of experience as a bookmaker has me advising you to buy down the 1/2-point on San Francisco.
Today's winner... 150 Dimer is the Green Bay Packers plus the points over the San Francisco 49ers. At 10:05 pm eastern time on Saturday night, Green Bay is +7 1/2 points in Vegas and offshore. Note: If the line you happen to get on Green Bay is between +6 to +7 points I advise you on buying the half-point up on the Packers, at +7 1/2 you leave it alone.
About this game....
No doubt the meeting between these teams in Santa Clara on November 24th in which San Francisco dominated Green Bay in every facet of the contest as they humiliated the Packers 37-8 holds some bearing when it comes to analyzing this NFC Championship Game, but playing a game during the regular season and playing a game in the postseason are two very different animals.
Rather than just go with what I witnessed in the regular season, I am am going to go the other way and look for Green Bay to make the needed adjustments in this title game that will give them a look at winning this one outright this time around.
In the November meeting, Green Bay was only a +3 point underdog, but we all know how that game turned out, as it was 23-0 in favor of the Niners before you had even settled into your sofa and mixed a cocktail. Aaron Rodgers had arguably his worst game of any I can recall in his career. Green Bay was limited to 198 yards of total offense as A-Rod passed for a paltry 104 yards on the day. The running game with Aaron Jones was stopped cold - Jones gaining just 38 yards on the day.
It's obvious to say that must change today if Green Bay is to have any shot, but it's easier said than done as the Niners defense is operating at full health once again, and they did a pretty convincing job last week in their Divisional Round win over Minnesota, 27-10.
Green Bay's fatal mistake on November 24th was going in thinking they could win the 5-on-5 battle of the lines for the day. It did not work, and it won't work today. Instead expect there to be double-teaming going on today. Expect a moving pocket for the slippery Rodgers and expect the Packers to make the points work to their benefit.
Granted, the 49ers defense rates the edge over the Packers defense, but Green Bay's defense has been their real calling card this season in winning 13 games during the regular season. Yes, the Pack did allow Seattle back in the game last week after being up 21-3 at the half, but last I checked Russell Wilson has played in a pair of Super Bowls and has won one of them.
The same cannot be said for Jimmy Garoppolo - who while he passed his first postseason hurdle last week, did throw a costly pick just before the half that allowed Minnesota to hang around at 14-10 at the break.
Listen, I am not going to knock the 49ers at all, they deserve all due credit as Kyle Shanahan has been masterful as has quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo. They beat the snot out of the Packers in the first go-round, and I can see them beating the Packers here in the second go-round to if we are being honest, BUT Aaron Rodgers wears a Super Bowl ring and giving him +7 points in a shot at redemption is something I am very interested in.
Going with the underdog Packers to be there come the final snap of this game with the points.
