49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick shredded the Packers in a 45-31 playoff victory in January. Has Green Bay figured out a way to slow him down in the offseason?
The 49ers were 4 ½-point favorites with the total sitting at 41.
Green Bay lost starting offensive tackle Bryan Bulaga to an ACL injury in training camp and projected started running back Dejuan Harris to a knee injury in Week 3 of the preseason.
Pass protection is a major concern for the Packers, especially against a 49ers defense that get after the quarterback. Rookie running back Eddie Lacy must be sharp in his blitz pickups to keep Aaron Rodgers upright.
The 49ers have been fantastic at home under coach Jim Harbaugh, going 13-6-1 against the spread at Candlestick Park the past two seasons.
The Pack is 5-1 ATS past 6 season openers and has played 4 straight UNDERs when they open the season on the road.
The 49ers meanwhile are 9-3-1 ATS in their past 13 September games and 7-2-1 ATS in their past 10 season openers.
