Packers vs. 49ers odds, player props, picks: Brandon Aiyuk
The nightcap of Saturday’s electrifying NFL divisional round will be a familiar matchup as the Packers face the 49ers.
The 49ers have won four straight playoff games against the Packers dating back to 2013, including twice in the past four seasons with Aaron Rodgers at the helm.
Green Bay is not expected to get revenge this weekend, as they are 9.5-point underdogs Saturday.
The two offenses are expected to put on a show, though, with a projected total of 50.5.
That robust number marks the highest total in the NFL’s divisional round.
Below, we break down the best player props and picks for Packers-49ers.
He’s a rookie and will be an excellent player in Green Bay for a long time.
Luke Musgrave is a budding star in the Packers’ offense.
Musgrave battled injuries throughout the season but in games he actually played, he’s been highly productive.
Last week, he grabbed three passes for 52 yards and a touchdown and has cleared three catches in seven of the 12 games he’s played this season.
The 49ers are about middle of the pack against opposing tight ends, according to FTN Fantasy.
Given the 49ers’ elite pass rush, quarterback Jordan Love may need to dump it down to Musgrave a few more times than usual.
This is worth a bet at +110 or better, but Bet365 has the best odds at the time of writing.
Brandon Aiyuk is the primary outside receiver on the left side of the ball, and that’s a great spot to be against the Green Bay Packers.
The Packers rank 26th in QBR against WR1s (left outside receivers), a great spot for Aiyuk to continue to show off his dominant skillset in a contract year.

Aiyuk is also second on the team in targets inside the five yard-line behind only Christian McCaffrey.
Look for a big game from Aiyuk this weekend.
