TV: NBC, Sunday, 8:15 p.m. ET

Records: Packers 8-2, 49ers 9-1

Line: 49ers by 3½

Packers’ keys: Get behind the run game against a defense that’s been susceptible to strong ground attacks. If RB Aaron Jones gets going, that opens up everything QB Aaron Rodgers will need.

49ers’ keys: Jimmy Garoppolo has been terrible with ball security. TE George Kittle could return from a knee injury, which dramatically improves the pass game. DE Nick Bosa has been quiet since his three-sack game vs. Carolina.

Who wins? Green Bay has the offense to expose the 49ers’ weaknesses on defense and the pass rush to slow the 49ers’ attack. Packers 28, 49ers 23
