San Francisco

We expect three-year man Nick Mullens to get the call at quarterback. Last week against Seattle, Mullens threw 25 passes and completed 18 (72%). He tossed two TD passes and did not give up a pick. Another issue for this team is the receiving corps, which, along with Kittle, has lost Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. Both were placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list. WR Kendrick Bourne, who has 25 catches for 352 yards and one score, will play. Also out are two of the teams top-three rushers, Jeff Wilson and Raheem Mostert. Jerick McKinnon, who has four TD runs and 209 yards on 47 carries, is ready to go.

Packers vs 49ers Spread Pick – Defenses

Our Green Bay vs San Francisco pick notes that the 49ers’ defense is a tad better than the Packers’. Green Bay is allowing opponents 26.7 PPG, while the Niners are giving up just 21.6. However, tonight, San Francisco will be without some defensive talent. The biggest concern is the possibility that safety Jaquiski Tartt may not play. However, many top performers are ready to go. Those include LB Fred Warner (61 TKLs, 3 PD, 2 INTs), corner Emmanuel Moseley (36 TKLs, 7 PD, 1 INT) and DE Kerry Hyder Jr. (25 TKLs, 4.5 SKs, 6 TFL).

The Packers are missing four players from their secondary, including safeties Raven Greene and Will Redmond and corner Kevin King. However, safeties Darnell Savage and Adrian Amos and corner Jaire Alexander are slated to play. Alexander has one INT, three PD, two TFL, and one sack. LB Za’Darius Smith is a major force. He comes to tonight’s game with six sacks, nine TFL, and one forced and recovered fumble. LB Krys Barnes leads the Pack in solo tackles (26) and assists (21).
