Bold Playoff Prediction of the Day: the underdog Packers will handily beat the 49ers later today.
(1) Aaron Rodgers nearly has his full complement of offensive weapons, making them one of the most dangerous teams in the postseason.
(2) Frank Gore is an old player, not the "player of old." For the second straight year, he slowed dramatically in the second half of the season. In weeks 1-8 this year, he netted 106 fantasy points (13.25 per game). In weeks 9-17, he garnered only 60 fantasy points 7.5 per game).
(3) 49ers CB Carlos Rogers is out, while CB Eric Wright is hobbled.
(4) Eddie Lacy has 10 TDs in his last 11 games. He will wear down the 49ers D which, although elite against the run, will not be able to contain him while focusing on Green Bay's passing game.
Final Score: Packers 31, 49ers 20
