The Divisional Round of the NFL’s playoffs begins today, and after a one-year absence, the Green Bay Packers (+10)
are back. Thanks to their Wild Card victory over the Dallas Cowboys, the Packers earned a date with the San Francisco 49ers (-10) on Saturday evening as the second game of what is arguably the league’s most entertaining and exciting weekend of the year.
Green Bay enters Saturday as 9.5-point underdogs, however, the biggest spread of the weekend. That is surely influenced by the fact that the 49ers are the NFC’s top seed while the Packers are the first 7 seed to ever win a playoff game, as well as San Francisco’s string of playoff victories over Green Bay.
