Why the 49ers can cover
San Francisco possesses one of the top offensive trios in the NFL in quarterback Brock Purdy, running back Christian McCaffrey and wide receiver Deebo Samuel. Including the playoffs, the 49ers are 18-1 with averages of 32.7 points and plus-16.0 differential per game when the three stars are healthy. This season, they ranked second in the league in total offense (398.4 yards) and became the first team since the 2004 Indianapolis Colts to boast a 4,000-yard passer and four players with 1,000 scrimmage yards.
Purdy, who was the last selection in the 2022 NFL Draft, finished fifth in the league with a team-record 4,280 passing yards and ranked third with 31 touchdown passes while setting the NFL mark for yards per attempt (9.6) in a single season. McCaffrey gained a career-high 1,459 yards on the ground to win the league rushing title and tied Miami's Raheem Mostert for most total touchdowns with 21, including seven through the air. He shared first place on the club in that category with wideout Brandon Aiyuk and Samuel, who racked up 892 receiving yards while also running for 225 and five TDs. See which team to pick here.
Why the Packers can cover
Jordan Love looked nothing like a young quarterback making his postseason debut last week as he carved up Dallas' secondary, completing 16-of-21 pass attempts for 272 yards and three touchdowns. The 25-year-old has been nearly mistake-free while leading Green Bay to wins in seven of its last nine games as he has thrown 21 TD passes and just one interception. Love has connected with nine different players for scores during the run, hooking up with wideouts Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks and Christian Watson four times apiece.
Reed was the Packers' leader during his rookie season with 793 receiving yards and tied Romeo Doubs for first on the team with eight touchdown catches. Doubs set a career high with 151 yards against the Cowboys while Aaron Jones led Green Bay's ground attack with 118 yards and three TDs. The 29-year-old running back, who ran for only two scores in the regular season, tied the NFL playoff records for most rushing touchdowns in a road game and a wild-card contest. Jones has averaged 99.5 scrimmage yards in six career postseason games while recording eight total TDs, including a team-record seven on the ground. See which team to pick here.
