Should the game between the Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers be called the highlight of the 12th day of the NFL regular season? Without a doubt. Both are among the main contenders for the final title, which is taken into account in our predictions, based on all current data.
Green Bay
Green Bay recorded three losses in the autumn period, which did not prevent the team from placing itself in the top group. Occasionally, the team seriously lacks creativity in attack. However, one cannot speak of a critical situation in this aspect. Last weekend, the “greens” won an uncompromising fight against Chicago (20:19), managing to overturn the initiative in the last quarter (6:0). Previously, the team lost to Detroit (14:24), having gained a slight lead early (3:0).
San Francisco
San Francisco appears much less convincing, which is a big surprise for the audience. The team remains the current vice-champions of the competition, but confidence in their abilities has been at least partially lost. The Californians don’t even boast exceptional offensive efficiency, which leads to failures in individual games. Last week, the team suffered a very unpleasant defeat from Seattle (17:20), and before that it had with difficulty overcome the resistance of Tampa (23:20) and Dallas (30:24).
Predictions from the editorial team
In this game, it is very likely that Green Bay will not have an easy task. The three previous head-to-head matches between these clubs were dominated by San Francisco (13:10, 28:21 and 24:21), and we believe they will avoid humiliation again. A win by the visiting team with a handicap of +9.5 is a reasonable option for the match.
