Twice during the 2019 season, the Green Bay Packers have been road underdogs. And in both games, the Packers covered the spread and won straight up.
They’ll get a chance to go 3-for-3 on Sunday night in San Francisco. The Packers are 3.5-point underdogs to the 49ers, per Bet MGM.
Matt LaFleur’s team were road underdogs in Chicago in Week 1 and in Dallas in Week 5 and won both games by a touchdown or more.
Overall, the Packers are 7-3 against the spread in 2019, including a 4-1 mark on the road.
The 49ers have been a somewhat unreliable team at home, covering the spread in only two of five games. But Kyle Shanahan’s team has won four of five games as a home favorite this season, with the one loss coming to the Seattle Seahawks two weeks ago.
The Packers’ win over the Bears in Week 1 was the team’s first victory as a road underdog since Nov. 2017, a span of nine games.
Last season, the Packers were road underdogs six times and lost all six games, including a game in Los Angeles coming out of the bye week.
