The 49ers visit the Packers today for the NFL playoffs divisional round, and Niner Noise has your injury updates, betting odds and how you can watch live.

Two seasons ago, the San Francisco 49ers eliminated the Green Bay Packers in the NFL playoffs by the way of a convincing 37-20 win in the NFC Championship game at Levi’s Stadium.

Now, quarterback Aaron Rodgers and Co. will look to return the favor, this time at Lambeau Field in the 2022 NFC divisional round.

Rodgers has gone 0-3 against the Niners during his lengthy playoff career, but the No. 1-seeded Packers will be hoping their weaponry on both sides of the ball can thwart a strong San Francisco squad that pulled off a thrilling Wild Card win over the Dallas Cowboys last week.

For 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan, Saturday’s recipe will surely involve a similar formula that worked two years ago: run the ball early and often against a weakish Green Bay run defense, effectively keeping Rodgers and the Packers offense off the field as much as possible.

49ers injury report vs. Packers NFC divisional round

The following players showed up on the Niners’ NFC divisional-round injury report ahead of Saturday’s game:

  • EDGE Nick Bosa (concussion): limited
  • EDGE Jordan Willis (ankle): limited
  • LB Azeez Al-Shaair (knee): full
  • QB Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb, shoulder): full
  • LB Marcell Harris (Achilles): limited
  • S Talanoa Hufanga (knee): full
  • CB Ambry Thomas (knee): limited
  • LB Fred Warner (ankle): full

Some notable names on the list, namely Bosa, Garoppolo and Warner. Despite an earlier report suggesting San Francisco was worried about Garoppolo’s recently revealed shoulder sprain, all signs are pointing towards him starting.

Bosa working his way back from the concussion suffered against Dallas is good news, too.

The betting line has moved a bit, both back and forth, ever since the oddsmakers over at WynnBET opened up the spread at 4.5 points in favor of the Packers. That spread jumped to six points in the middle of the week, likely because of the injury news surrounding Garoppolo and Bosa, before going back to Green Bay now being a 5.5-point favorite.

The Niners’ moneyline is +210, whereas the Packers’ moneyline is -260.

The over/under for the game is 47.5.

Our original prediction suggested an unfortunate and season-ending 30-24 loss, and we’re not going to sway from that here, even though it would mean San Francisco also failed to cover.
