Why the 49ers can cover

Few teams have been hit by injuries as hard as the 49ers this season and the loss of Purdy and edge rusher Nick Bosa (hip, oblique) has created line movement in Green Bay's favor. All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey, however, is back in action without any limitations. His presence adds a dimension to the San Francisco offense that has been missing for most of the season. 

Despite their record, the 49ers still rank near the top of the NFL in total offense (398.9 yards per game) and total defense (302.2 yards allowed per game). One of the biggest bright spots for the 49ers has been the emergence of wide receiver Jauan Jennings. The former seventh-round pick leads the team in both yards (588) and targets (58), and has four touchdown receptions in 2024. See which team to pick here.

Why the Packers can cover

The Packers are one of the most balanced teams in the NFL. Defensively, Green Bay has been solid against both the run and pass. Entering Week 12, the Packers are allowing 207.5 passing yards and 119.6 rushing yards per game. Safety Xavier McKinney has been an outstanding addition to the back-end of Green Bay's defense, and ranks second in the NFL with six interceptions. 

Offensively, the Packers are one of the most effective teams in the NFL. They are averaging 238.2 passing yards and 149.9 rushing yards per game. Quarterback Jordan Love is surrounded by a talented supporting cast that features running back Josh Jacobs (1,024 total yards, four total touchdowns), wide receiver Jayden Reed (38 catches, 643 yards, four touchdowns), and tight end Tucker Kraft (28 catches, 376 yards, five touchdowns). See which team to pick here.
