00:00And we were starting to discuss the Niners taking on the Packers.

00:06I mentioned the fact that it could be anybody's game, 1.5 on the spread, 47.5 when it comes

00:10to the total.

00:11Now, you've got a Niners team that has just kind of been on a bit of a roller coaster

00:14throughout this season.

00:16We know that initially the impact were the numerous injuries that they had on their roster,

00:21but then you see them go into this previous matchup on Sunday, Seahawks end up rallying

00:26at the end.

00:27I don't know what to make of them going against a Green Bay Packers team that can keep their

00:47game simple and efficient and even cleaner than the Seahawks and potentially walk away

00:51with a win.

00:52Right.

00:5349ers collapse of the game last week going up against the Seahawks.

00:59I would say, you know, big news for this is obviously going to be Will George-Kittle

01:03play because he didn't play in the recent game.

01:06Again, what we saw from the 49ers was absolutely terrible.

01:09That's just, it is what it is.

01:10And obviously the Packers kind of had their faults as well to let the Bears back in the

01:14game.

01:15The Bears legitimately had a shot to win.

01:16So both teams are fighting for playoff position.

01:19We got to remember that despite the Packers, what are they, seven and three, they're third

01:24in their division.

01:25Right.

01:26They're third in their division.

01:27They are fighting for a wild card spot because the NFC North is so good.

01:31So under 47 and a half, I think has to be the play.

01:35The 49ers don't want to turn this into a shootout because I just don't think that's what they

01:40want to do.

01:41They're missing some pieces on offense and the Packers are healthier overall.

01:44So this game has to be slowed down.

01:46This has to be a Jacobs CMC game respectively for these two teams.

01:50Oh, I love that angle.

01:51And I would definitely kind of probably favorably see what, um, what the numbers and stuff will

01:55look like for Jacobs.

01:56I mean, even Mason, we know him to be a workhorse to kind of alleviate or have his big moments

02:01as well.

02:02And he was just so, so short stacked when it came to the statistics for the matchup

02:05versus the Seahawks.
