The NFC Divisional round of the NFL playoffs will see the San Francisco 49ers (12-5) and Green Bay Packers (9-8) hit the gridiron at Levi's Stadium on Saturday night. This highly-anticipated showdown marks the tenth time that the Packers and 49ers have faced each other in the postseason, setting an NFL record for the most playoff meetings between any two teams.
Green Bay might be the No. 7 seed heading into the postseason, but they haven't played like one since starting the year 2-5, as Jordan Love and the youngest team in the NFL had no trouble smashing the No. 2 Cowboys 48-32 in last Sunday's Wild card clash in Dallas, with the lead being a whopping 32 points entering the fourth quarter.
The Packers still have their biggest challenge ahead of them in the form of San Francisco, who won the NFC West with a 12-5 regular season record and earned the conference's No. 1 seed and first-round bye. San Francisco did a number on Green Bay in the two sides' last postseason meeting in 2022, which saw them come out on top with a 13-10 scoreline.
