The seventh-seeded Green Bay Packers orchestrated an upset victory on Sunday, defeating the second-seeded Dallas Cowboys 48-32 at AT&T Stadium. This victory sets the stage for a Divisional Playoff showdown against the top-seeded San Francisco 49ers at Levi's Stadium this weekend.
The Packers haven't secured a postseason win against the 49ers since the 2001 season, having lost all four meetings since then. Saturday's game will mark the first playoff encounter between the two teams since the 2021 season when the 49ers clinched a 13-10 victory at Lambeau Field in the Divisional Playoff round.
Oddsmakers are confident in San Francisco's ability to extend their playoff dominance over the Packers. BetMGM currently places the 49ers as 10-point favorites against the Matt LaFleur-led squad.
It's worth noting that the Cowboys were favored by seven points against the Packers, and the Cleveland Browns were favored by 2.5 points against the Houston Texans. However, both underdogs emerged victorious in their respective playoff matchups.
A win for the 49ers would mark the team's third consecutive trip to the NFC Championship Game and their fourth appearance in the conference title game in the last five seasons.
The San Francisco 49ers have officially announced the signings of six undrafted free agents, all of whom were previously reported.
LB Stone Blanton, Mississippi State
RB Corey Kiner, Cincinnati
OL Drew Moss, Colorado
WR Isaiah Neyor, Nebraska
CB Jakob Robinson, BYU
