Thursday Night Football Week 9 Matchup – Green Bay Packers vs. San Francisco 49ers Full Week 9 picks show: https://youtu.be/1x2eitzZZzc November 5, 2020, 8:20 pm EDT, Levi’s Stadium, Santa Clara, Calif. The San Francisco 49ers are 4-4, which under normal circumstances would put them in the thick of the playoff race in either conference. However, they play in the best division in football—the NFC West—and that has them in last place behind the Seattle Seahawks, Arizona Cardinals, and Los Angeles Rams. Throw the New Orleans Saints (5-2) and Chicago Bears (5-3), who are not division leaders at present, into the equation and the 49ers would not be part of the postseason even if it expands to eight teams per conference. Rachael Van Oranje and Jeff Reinebold from the Pickswise NFL Show give us their best bets for Thursday Night Football! None of that is good for the Niners, but it is by no means their biggest problem heading into Thursday night’s home game against the Green Bay Packers. They have been one of the most injury-plagued teams this whole year and now things are only going from bad to worse for them in that department. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) and tight end George Kittle (foot) are out and could be done for the season. The defense is depleted and cornerback Richard Sherman (calf) is among the casualties. All of this is why San Francisco has tumbled outside the top 20 in our current power rankings. Green Bay is not at full strength, either, as running back Aaron Jones (calf) remains questionable. The good news for the Packers is that they are still a solid 5-2 despite last week’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings and they lead the NFC North by a half-game over Chicago. Who do you like tonight?
