00:00The race for the top spot in the NFC, a lot of focus on our week 12 Sunday slate around
00:10the National Football League recapped here on a Monday morning on the early line on sports
00:15grid.
00:16You could say the story of the season DRS for the NFC championship favorites in the
00:20short ones at that entering this season for San Francisco, it has been injuries and not
00:27just a couple here and there or a lot in the early portion of the season, but injuries
00:34to the most impactful players all year long.
00:38The 49ers entered a game, a renewal of an NFC rivalry at Lambeau field, shorthanded
00:44once again, no Brock Purdy, no Nick Bosa, no Trent Williams, significant injuries that
00:51have cast a shadow on this season for San Francisco all season.
00:56It was the story yesterday in green Bay as well.
01:00The Packers take advantage to their credit winning by 28, 38 to 10.
01:05They easily cover as a six and a half point favorite total of 44 and a hook does sky over
01:12the RS first game since the NFC championship one in Philadelphia at the end of the 2022
01:19season that the 49ers were booked as an underdog.
01:23They look like the dog yesterday, getting blown out in Lambeau and a big win for green
01:28Bay.
01:29Their eighth this season, impressive by the green Bay Packers, just because the team is
01:33wounded out here.
01:34It doesn't mean you could roll the helmets on and easily beat them.
01:37Case in point, Washington and Dallas, which we'll get to a little bit later in the show.
01:41This was one of those beatings that I anticipated from the Packers perspective line opened up
01:45around two and a half closed around that six and a half range.
01:47Like, Ooh, I wonder if the niners can really have a great effort with Christian McCaffrey
01:51yesterday on the desk on pro football today, breaking this game down.
01:53It's simple to me.
01:54I said, you know, sometimes you take a look and say, do I think the niners can win this
01:57game?
01:58Probably not.
01:59But you know how they won't win this game?
02:00McCaffrey rushing for 60 or so yards in that game.
02:03He ended up 11 carries for 31 yards.
02:05You're just not as explosive with Brandon Allen, a quarterback, as you will with Brock
02:08Purdy.
02:09I was worried about George Kittle with his hamstring injury, but how about this?
02:13Six for 82 and a touchdown.
02:14He was just fine.
02:15But who were going to be those secondary wide receivers to step up since Brandon Iuk went
02:19down?
02:20I mean, take a look at Debo Samuel, one catch for 21 yards.
02:23I mean, you got to be a better football player and almost realize like, well, Debo is only
02:27good because you had so many good players around them where you can't pay attention
02:30to him.
02:31Now when the defense can line up and focus on Debo wide receiver, he's been insignificant
02:34to say the least.
02:35But let's also focus on the running back position here in this game.
02:39Josh Jacobs, 26 carries, 106 and three touchdowns.
02:43Think about the three biggest free agent signings on the market at the running back position
02:46last year.
02:47Michael Barkley.
02:48Phenomenal.
02:49Derek Henry.
02:50Phenomenal.
02:51Josh Jacobs.
02:52Phenomenal.
02:53This is a great sign for running backs that were basically a year ago before this offseason
02:56were tossed aside.
02:57Like we're not going to pay any money because running backs are insignificant bull.
03:01Look at you.
03:02I mean, Josh Jacobs could be one of those bell cast in bad weather in Green Bay that
03:05you can absolutely lean on.
03:06Now, let me say this, Ben.
03:08One thing about the San Francisco 49ers.
03:10I would love to bury them today.
03:11I do think they're going to wind up being five and seven after next week, but still
03:14being in the race in the NFC West.
03:16Here's the thing with the Green Bay Packers.
03:17I do believe they're going to beat the Miami Dolphins on Thanksgiving night at home, Thursday
03:21night.
03:22Great spot for the Green Bay Packers, but I'm not buying them just yet, Ben.
03:25I'm waiting for the next two games where I think they lose both of those games coming
03:29up, and then I'm going to buy in when they play the Saints here for the rest of the season.
03:33I think I can get a better price to win the NFC at plus 750 in about a month than I can
03:38right now.
03:39I'm holding off on the Packers, not because I don't like them, because I can get a better
03:42price and nobody is going to want to see the Packers as one of those wildcard teams,
03:46which is what they're going to be coming up.
