We've reached the final four of the NFL playoffs. Here's an early look at where the betting value lies in the conference championship games.


Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers (-7, 45)

Everyone is going to be referencing the matchup between the Packers and 49ers in San Francisco earlier this season in which the 49ers dominated the Packers 37-8. I dug in trying to disprove how lopsided that final score was, but the problem is ... I can't.

Green Bay only committed one turnover and five penalties (four fewer than San Francisco), ran 70 plays and couldn't even muster 200 yards against this 49ers defense. That comes out to just 2.8 yards per play compared to San Francisco's 7.5 in the game.
