The 49ers are heavily favored to take care of the Green Bay Packers in their divisional playoff matchup Saturday at Levi’s Stadium. It’s not just the betting markets that like San Francisco. A panel of nine NFL coaches and executives surveyed by Jeff Howe unanimously chose the 49ers to win.
It’s worth noting the same panel all chose the Cowboys to knock off the Packers in the wild card round. Quarterback Jordan Love is playing exceedingly well and helped guide Green Bay to its blowout victory, but San Francisco offers a different challenge than Dallas – particularly on offense.
