2 Green_Bay-->San_Francisco-->
Head to head Atlanta won by 3 at home, Green Bay beat Philly on the road twice while Atlanta lost on the road, and Atlanta best the 49ers by 2 at home while Green Bay beat them by 18.
The spread is Atlanta by 2 and the computer agrees but just by 0.7. Here is the pick using the format from the newsletter:
.Green Bay +2.0 over *x Atlanta 0.7 1.3 0.526 0.550
This game is interesting because Green Bay has been so up and down. Green Bay has 8 single game ratings in the 90s, 4 of those over 96, while Atlanta has only 4 in the 90s and none over 92.033. So at their best, Green Bay is the better team. But Green Bay can be bad too with 3 games in the 70s and 5 below 83, while Atlanta also has 3 in the 70s but no other below 83.
Enjoy!
