Packers vs. 49ers: Bettors Backing Underdog Pack
Our NFL Public Betting Information page indicates that 59% of public bettors are currently backing the Packers when it comes to the spread. This information is subject to change throughout the day, however, so be sure to check the link so you’re receiving the most up-to-date public betting data.
Greelaw Doesn’t Practice
49ers LB Dre Greenlaw (Achilles) did not participate in Tuesday’s practice. Greenlaw sat out of the 49ers’ Week 18 loss against the Rams with the one seed locked up. However, after two weeks of rest, Greenlaw remains out with an Achilles issues. He joined Clelin Ferrell (knee) and Logan Ryan (groin) as defenders that sat out of practice on Tuesday. All three players will have the chance to practice later in the week in order to return for Saturday’s Divisional Round game against the Packers.
Alexander Listed as Questionable
Packers listed Jaire Alexander (shoulder/ankle) as questionable for Saturday’s Divisional round matchup against the 49ers. Alexander has dealt with nagging injuries in recent weeks, but that didn’t stop him from suiting up in last weekend’s game against the Cowboys. Alexander totaled seven tackles and an interception in that game, and should be good to go against the 49ers barring any setbacks.
