You mean the 49ers 4th best pass defense that faced a WHOOPING 5 teams in the Top 15 of the NFL this year in offense    13 games against offenses 15th and below

Not too shabby when HALF your games are against the bottom of the NFL in production

8 games against Zona, Zona, Rams, Rams, Jets, Bills, Dolphins and Bears(backup)......I hope you are a top defense \

If you want to go off stats, GB was 5 spots behind SF

 

Youre right.  The ONLY reason NE came back was SF was if prevent....even after 4 straight scores all prevent

 

 

 

Like I said same ol' remarks. OOO tough guy, why cause I called you a tool and a clown? Pretty sure you've been saying the same, "tough guy." Sorry I just call 'em as I see 'em

 

So you're making excuse like we have a soft schedule? Coming from the North that's a bold thing to say. Let's see who the Packers have played:

 

Lions, Lions, Saints, Titans, Cards, Rams, Jags, Bears, Bears, and the Vikings last week with their back up QB?

And you of all people can't even begin to make a claim that the Bear's are a decent team. You've been dogging them all year saying how bad they are, and you were right they are bad. So that's what, 9-10 bad teams.

 

You have wins against which good teams... Houston?

WHen have I ONCE said anything about GB beating good teams or having a great this or that???

NEVER

YOU and SF fans are the ones throwing around stats about the GREAT SF numbers.....

All I did was say, if you look at those stats, 13 of their opp dont rank in the top half of football in offense

If that bothers you so be it.

You are the one that said "discount double check stats"

If you look at the numbers against the good offenses SF played this year, they are average at best

SF played SEVEN games against teams ranked 32-22 in yards per game....and played only THREE against the top 15

 

GB played 7 in the top 15.....and 4 in the bottom 10

And those THREE were the TOP THREE with all WINS.

i think this game is so up in the air and comes down to how justin smith plays. i will be looking to make an ingame play after watching justin smith play. but i'd have to lean towards SF as much as i want to see GB win.

A much better metric to use is DVOA. 

With that, SF actually had a slightly tougher schedule than GB as far as opposing offenses are concerned.
SF played 7 of the top 10 DVOA ranked offenses, while GB played 6. 

As far as opposing defenses, it's not as close. SF played 9 games against top 10 DVOA defenses. GB played only 6 games against top ten D's.

SF had a strength of schedule of #3, while GB's was #9, according to DVOA.


Very difficult game to predict as far as betting, but SF has played a better and more rigorous overall schedule than GB. That is clear.

I 100% understand where you come from, but 90% of people on this site dont understand how that happens...

As for your comments I disagree....many teams do it without the run now.  GB does plenty of screens to the RB, and WR screens and swing passes that have the result of runs.  They run just enough. 

As for the SF run against us.  Call me crazy, but I think the pistol favors GB.  As seen, GB cant stop a power runner right at them.  They are smaller upfront, but they have crazy speed on the outside.  I know Webb isnt kaep, but we shut down the Qb run while also shutting down AP. 

 

Either way, its going to be an awesome game.  Like I said, I think this winner, wins it all

If SF wins, they will need to score 24+.  Im not sure they can do that

 

Why do you not think SF can score 24 points against the Packers? The past is the past, but SF did score 30 in GB with Smith at QB...

I actually dont use stats to make wagers....

They only reason I bring up stats is when I feel people dont look into them....

In my opinion, when a team plays 13 teams in the bottom 15 of the NFL in offense....a #4 ranking isnt that impressive

 

I disagree that SF played a tougher schedule...

SF played 4 games against teams in the playoffs and played 4 games against Rams and Cards(which I dont feel are good teams at all)

Gb played 5, including 2 games against Chicago which missed by 1 game....Yes Chicago faded, but Chicago destroyed both St Louis and Zona

Im not saying they cant.  In fact, in this thread and my own write-up, I believe SF wins this game 5 out of 10 times. 

I just dont know why people think GB will not score.  Gb will score atleast 24.  If SF wins this game, it will be because their offense not defense. 

GB is clicking now and getting healthier. 

Fact is, it comes down to I will take the Pack offense and Rodgers over Kapernick and his offense. 

People can say SF was in prevent against NE, but they werent.  Maybe for the 1st or maybe 2nd score.  But, NE continued to shred and shred.  Seattle did the same thing the next week. 

Gb has really changed their offense the last few weeks and have included alot of new wrinkles. 

I dont trust young qbs in the playoffs, let alone one that will have to make so many decisions with ball handling like Kaepernick will have to do. 

 

Its going to be a great game, but I think our offense will do just enough to pull off a victory

Stats should be incorporated to make an informed wager. They cannot simply be ignored. You are using total yardage stats, which can be very misleading. Enhanced stats, like DVOA, are more revealing and can be useful in ferreting out indiscrepancies and true value. In your superficial assessments, SF has "appeared" to play an easier schedule. In reality, when using more definitive and comprehensive data, SF has played a clear-cut more difficult schedule, incorporating both quality of opponents offenses and defenses. 

Do what you wish, but ignore important, objective metrics at your wagering peril.

It's ok to be a fan of a certain team, but when it starts to influence and bias your wagering...it can become fatal.

People are free to use whatever they want to make a wager.  I think stats are misleading.

Fact is, I consider a team who makes the playoffs, a solid tough game.  GB has played more playoff teams.  Gb, also had 3 games against teams which were 1 game away from playoffs. 

Like you said about your stats....the Rams had better "Stats" than Chicago....Chicago DESTROYED THE RAMS...

SF had 2 games against the team with "your better stats" since they played the rams twice, when in the "real world", Chicago is a much better team

Thus, how "stats" are misleading

It's clear your fandom is affecting your commentary. You don't know what I am talking about. Good luck.

Fandom???   I cant stand the Bears.

But, when you are comparing strength of schedule between team A and team B....

I consider 2 games against Chicago tougher than two games against the Rams

Yet, your "DVOA stats" would suggest the Rams are a tougher game

No. Not correct. Go look it up for yourself. It's obvious you don't know what I am referring to.

Your opinion is not a valid objective measurement, in any wagering situation.

I dont care to take the time to look it up.  I do very well wagering not worry about "stats"

Best of luck to you.  You can throw whatever "stats" you want, but I disagree SF played a tougher schedule, when the fact alone GB played more playoff teams , including 3 other games agaisnt teams who missed by 1 game

 

I dont base wagers based on stats.  You do.  We both can win however we do it. 

Ive had my best betting year in football in a long time, not focusing on "stats"

No. I don't use them exclusively. I incorporate them into my final wager. As any good, long term bettor does.

You might find it helpful to do some unbiased assessment and research when betting. Stats can be very useful. 
Sorry that you find the time to post your fan based opinions, but not to look up data driven, objective, relevant info.

Good luck.

"Sorry that you find the time to post your fan based opinions, but not to look up data driven, objective, relevant info"

 

Once again, I DIDNT BRING UP THE STATS OF FAN BASED OPINIONS.

Many people CONTINUED to bring up how SFs defense is SO GREAT because they are ranked #4 and I should "discount double check my info"

I simply replied with SF playing against 13 teams who rank in the bottom half in offense. 

Thats a FACT, not a fan based opinion.  I didnt create the stat.

No need to get defensive. You do not understand what I am trying to impart. It's ok. Some just don't get it.

By the way, the basic and mainly useless stats you are giving out are wrong anyway. It's 11 not 13 teams, if you actually counted correctly.

LETGOPACK1234, this is a sports wagering forum, not a Green Bay Packers fan forum 

I have heard about Football Outsiders, but primarily used Pro Football Focus in the past. Thanks for getting me to look into it last week Mellow, it's definitely something useful I will incorporate into my capping in the future. Especially liked the AFC/NFC Wildcard Previews.

It's been helpful. It assimilates a lot of data and variables into a very comprehensive database. Certainly worth a look to anyone who is interested in statistics as a factor in their wagering.

Ummmm.....I am pretty sure this is a Sf/GB thread last time I checked

Thanks for the reminder, thus why I keep my GB discussion in threads that involve the GB Packers

Why Green Bay Will Lose at SF:

1. GROUND GAME
San Fran has a far better running game than GB. They took care of them already this season in GB, and that was without a mobile QB- a new wrinkle GB now has to prepare for. This will limit Aaron Rogers time on the field, and grind clock.

2. O-No O Line
GB is 31st in the league, allowing 4.2 sacks per game on the road. Gonna be hard to keep Rogers upright, and with a limited run game, you know they will have to have Rogers throwing often to keep them in this game.

3. Justin Smith?
If he does return the way he is supposed to, expect him to make life even more difficult as he is a key asset to 49ers pass rush. Might not get a lot of sacks but he keeps things chaotic and forces QBs to make mistakes.

4. Look to the Past
In their previous meeting, GB had ONE offensive touchdown, and it came with 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter when the game was well out of reach. The 9ers will be ready for this one, and Harbaugh's postseason record at home speaks for itself.

My only concerns with this game are Kapernick being jittery as it his first playoff start. GB also gained 324 yards in their loss to SF at home, but failed to put up many points. Rogers will have to be near flawless, cuz this SF offense is nothing like Minnesota's anemic Joe Webb lead team.
