Packers vs 49ers Player Prop #1: Brandon Aiyuk Over 69.5 Receiving Yards (-110)
There are so many dangerous skill position players on the San Francisco 49ers that it is almost hard to remember that Brandon Aiyuk is as good as he is. But Aiyuk has been making big plays for the San Francisco 49ers all season long. In this game, the over on his receiving yards total is the first of our Packers vs 49ers props that we have picked out.
Aiyuk has been so dangerous for the Niners running deep routes, which has not only helped him make big plays but has freed up room for more shallow routes to open up for Brock Purdy. In this game, we expect Aiyuk to get free for at least one deep completion en route to him hitting the over on this receiving yards total to help his team get to the NFC Championship Game.
Packers vs 49ers Player Prop #2: Aaron Jones Under 67.5 Rushing Yards (-125)
In the Wild Card round against the Cowboys, Aaron Jones ran for over 100 yards and helped the Green Bay Packers salt the game away. This week, Jones should have far less success on the ground for a couple of main reasons. As a result, we like him to stay under his rushing yards total and fail to reach 70 yards on the ground on Saturday.
The first reason Jones should stay under his total is the game script this week. The Packers are not likely to hold a lead throughout the game like they did last week, which should reduce Jones’ workload. Additionally, the Packers are facing a much better run defense in general, which will mean less early yardage for the Packers’ starting back.
