The 2013 NFL playoffs schedule is back, and here at Cappers Info, we’ll be looking at some of the best games on the docket each and every week, as we try to make the most money possible off of the Divisional Round odds for the NFL. Join us on Saturday, as we make our Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers free picks and predictions for what should be a great clash on the gridiron.

Divisional NFL Picks: Green Bay Packers @ San Francisco 49ers
Date: Saturday, January 12th, 8:00 ET
Location: Candlestick Park, San Francisco, CA
Packers @ 49ers Odds: San Francisco -3
Packers @ 49ers On TV: FOX

The Packers and the 49ers fought it out already once this year, but that was way back in Week 1. The Niners won that game 30-22, and they were definitively the better of these two teams. But has that truly stayed the case? We have a huge question about that when push comes to shove, especially knowing that we have a veteran quarterback that has a number of playoff games going against a de facto rookie in QB Colin Kaepernick, who has played just a handful of games in his career as a starter that has had to go wire to wire.

The Packers really weren’t challenged in their first playoff game this year against the Minnesota Vikings, especially knowing that QB Christian Ponder sat it out, leaving QB Joe Webb to try his best to compete. They didn’t get a great contribution from their running game, and they really need to get things going on the ground to try to keep LB Aldon Smith off of QB Aaron Rodgers’ backside. Rodgers has now thrown for over 4,500 yards in 17 games including the playoffs, and he has himself a heck of a set of receivers. Another week of practice might make the team’s leading receiver, WR Randall Cobb healthier, and if he can get back to 100%, that would make this unit a heck of a lot more dangerous. Defensively, we know that LB Clay Matthews is ready to make a huge impact. He started his season with 2.5 sacks in this game against San Fran, and he had two more sacks on Saturday night against the Vikes.

We’re just really not all that optimistic about the chances for the 49ers in this one. The team has been outscored by a margin of 36 points over the course of its last two and a half games. As it is, the Packers are playing great ball. They’re scoring points at will, and this is starting to really feel like it is setting up well for them. Green Bay already got to face Webb, and now comes Kaepernick, and then if this one is won, beyond that will be either a second home game in the NFC Championship Game or a trip to the Georgia Dome to face the Atlanta Falcons, who still at this point, have never won a playoff game under the direction of QB Matt Ryan and Head Coach Mike Smith. It’s time for some payback for the Pack, and they’ll get the job done with an upset on the road in what might be the de facto NFC Championship Game when push comes to shove.

Green Bay at San Francisco Pick: Green Bay Packers +3
Packers @ 49ers Score Prediction: Green Bay 34 – San Francisco 21

The NFL playoff schedule is out for this week, and today, I’m set to make my NFL playoffs pointspread picks for the ‘total’ in this crucial clash. The Green Bay Packers and the San Francisco 49ers are going to do battle at Candlestick Park in San Francisco, CA. Join me for my Divisional Round playoffs tips for this 8:00 p.m. ET kickoff that can be seen on FOX.

The Packers and the 49ers combined for 52 points the first time that they ran into each other, and they are going to be involved in what could be a high scoring playoff game once again. I’m actually a bit surprised that the initial line movement sent this game down from 46 to 45, and I think that this is going to be a situation where the oddsmakers made a big time mistake.

Wild Card Playoff Picks
Green Bay Packers (12-5, 10-7 ATS) +3
San Francisco 49ers (11-4-1, 9-7 ATS) -3
Over/Under 45

The Packers have been out of this world offensively over the course of the last few weeks. The squad put up 24 points last week against the Minnesota Vikings in the first round of the playoffs. They have now put up at least 21 points in six straight games and have averaged 30.7 points per game in that stretch. QB Aaron Rodgers and the gang have a history of playing some tremendously high scoring games in the playoffs as well. Last year’s loss to the New York Giants featured 57 points, and prior to that, the Super Bowl in 2011 saw 56 hit the board, and the second round game against the Atlanta Falcons had 69 points in it. In each of the team’s last nine playoff games, dating back to when QB Brett Favre was calling the shots, the Pack have put up at least 20 points, and they have averaged 30.2 points per game in that run. With Rodgers as the team’s quarterback, the Packers have averaged 30.0 points per game.

There really is no reason to believe that the 49ers aren’t going to be able to put up some points as well. Last year, QB Alex Smith and the game played in a 68-point shootout against the New Orleans Saints. Now, the team has scored at least 27 points in five of the seven starts that QB Colin Kaepernick has played in. I know that both of these defense can be great, but I also know that the history of this series suggests a high scoring game as well. Not only did this year’s game see 52 hit the board, but four straight games have featured at least 49 points. I only need 46 points for this one to get there, and I think I’m going to get at least a touchdown more than that when push comes to shove.
