The San Francisco 49ers probably check in at the bottom of the list of teams that Philadelphia fans want to see win the Super Bowl.

So we look to the Green Bay Packers, who eliminated the Cowboys last week and have a chance of contending with one of the Birds’ new rivals in the NFL divisional round.

San Francisco has been favored in every game this season, and that’s no different with Saturday’s 9.5-point spread, but Matt LaFleur’s history as an underdog suggests the Packers could at least cover. Since taking charge in Green Bay, LaFleur is 21-10 against the spread as an underdog and 9-5 as an underdog with Jordan Love as his quarterback.

There’s a chance the Packers spoil the party in Santa Clara?

Of course there is!

Even better, the Packers won outright in their last four games as an underdog. They beat the Los Angeles Chargers, Detroit Lions, and Kansas City Chiefs to start their run to the playoffs, and then upset Dallas as a 7.5-point road dog during wild card weekend. Detroit and Kansas City are still alive, Dallas was a division winner, and the Chargers were at least in good standing when they faced the Packers.

For what it’s worth, LaFleur is also 19-12 against the spread in night games, with the last cover being the Week 13 Sunday night victory against the Chiefs.

To add a little more fuel to the Packers’ case, the 49ers were only 4-3 ATS this season when favored by eight or more points. They failed to cover against the Cleveland Browns, Seattle Seahawks, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. That’s two playoff teams and a third that was in the Week 18 postseason mix. The 49ers only covered the 8.5-point-or-larger spread against Arizona, Washington, and the New York Giants. All of those teams were flat out garbage, unless they played the Eagles.

You could totally disregard this case for the Packers by saying the 49ers are simply the better team and will blow them out on their home field.

But didn’t we do the exact same thing with the Cowboys last week?
