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 remain among the betting favorites to win Super Bowl 59 in New Orleans next year. The Bay Area team being favored in most of its 17 games on the 2024 schedule shouldn't surprise anyone. San Francisco is coming off a Super Bowl appearance, after all.
However, the Niners aren't just favored in most of the games. According to Pro Football Talk, they are favored in all of them, including their Week 7 Super Bowl rematch against the Kansas City Chiefs—likely due to the game being played at Levi's Stadium.

An Arsenal of Weapons: The 49ers Have Quietly Become Even More Dangerous on Offense in 2024

It's not a shock to anyone who looks back at the past two NFL seasons to contemplate that the San Francisco 49ers' offense has finally stepped out of the shadow cast by the team's ever-imposing defense. Since their 2019 Super Bowl run, players like Nick Bosa, Fred Warner, Dre Greenlaw, and former 49ers Richard Sherman and Jimmie Ward have garnered most of the attention when talking about the team. That was indeed the case until 2022, when future Hall-of-Fame running back Christian McCaffrey, who came to San Francisco in a mid-season trade with the Carolina Panthers, changed the conversation. The 49ers' offense was suddenly seen not just as a semi-capable complement to a sterling defense, but rather as a unit that could put up some points, and in a dramatic way.
