My solid run down the stretch in the NFL continued yesterday with a 2-0 sweep. During the regular season I had 3 winning weeks in a row to end the year and I am now 10-4 in my last 14 NFL plays overall. Let's keep it rolling today.

San Francisco/ Green Bay Under 45.5: they say this has the possibility of being the coldest game in the history of the NFL and to me that means that a ground game should really take over this one, which will eat plenty of clock. Also helps to have two of the better rushing teams in the league in this one. The Niners come in ranked 3rd in the league in rushing as they have averaged 137.6 ypg on the ground, while their passing game is pathetic at 30th in the league, averaging 186.2 ypg. They will face a Green Bay team that is 25th in the league vs the run, so you can bet that San Fran will just try an pound the ball away at this defense. For Green Bay they are 7th in the league in rushing and Im sure they would love to just pound Lacy away at the middle of that San Fran defense, which will take pressure off of Rodgers to make many big play. the Packers do not want him dropping back too much vs this San Fran pass rush and risk him being sacked and landing on the rock hard surface of the "Frozen Tundra" of Lambeau Field. And yes this turf will be like playing on a concrete parking lot. One bad fall by Rodgers could end his season. This really should be all about the ground games in this one and that will just eat clock. these teams met in week one and 62 points were scored in that game. Well that game was played in San Fran, in a temperature (69 degrees) nearly 100 degrees warmer than today's game will be. This game should be played in the low 30's at best.
10 POINT TEASER--- San Fran/ Green Bay Under 55.5 & San Fran +7.5 & San Diego/ Cincinnati Under 56.5
OTHER PLAY

San Diego +7 over CINCINNATI: Fun fact here and that's the fact that the team that has been the Eagles home opening opponent this year has gone on to win the Super Bowl 4 straight years. I don't expect the Bolts to be able to do that this year, but I do think they could keep this game close and maybe even win it. This team has been in playoff mode the last 4 weeks and have stepped up every time. The Bengals are a perfect 8-0 at home this year, but Dalton hasn't preformed well in the post season, while the Bengals have not won a playoff game in 23 years. San Diego is playing with cofidence right and should keep this game within a TD.
