On Saturday, the 49ers and Packers will meet in primetime.
The divisional playoff schedule is decided by the NFL. This Saturday, January 20, in primetime, kicks off at 5 p.m. PT for the San Francisco 49ers. After Jordan Love led the Niners to an unexpected victory over the Dallas Cowboys, they will now host the Green Bay Packers.
Playing the 49ers against the Packers on Saturday in the playoffs has been successful for them in the past. On a Saturday evening in 2022, Robbie Gould scored the winning touchdown against the Packers. On a Saturday, Colin Kaepernick defeated Aaron Rodgers, the current MVP and a past Super Bowl champion.
Before we get too far ahead of ourselves, the NFC Championship game is scheduled for Sunday, January 28 at 3:30 p.m. Pacific Time.
The Eagles and Buccaneers game winner was never going to be played on a Saturday by the NFL. The Packers will therefore have a disadvantage during rest. But after what Green Bay did to Dallas, they’ll be entering Levi’s Stadium on a high note.
The best thing that can happen to the 49ers is the Packers winning in the manner that they did. They will have to concentrate intensely and not take the No. 7 seed lightly as a result.
Over the course of the week, we’ll discuss a few fascinating narratives in this game. One is Steve Wilks, who spent the weekend interviewing for head coaching positions with the Falcons and Chargers in an effort to expand his portfolio. There’s no better way to establish your worth than to take on an offense that just finished with more than 40 points.
