Bold predictions for Packers-49ers: 49ers run for over 100 yards

The 49ers have found something in their running game by placing wide receiver Deebo Samuel in the backfield. Samuel should scare the Packers for a number of reasons, as he’s a true dual threat weapon when lined up next to the quarterback.

The 49ers only averaged 4.3 yards per rush in the regular season, ranking 16th in the NFL. However, they love to pound the rock to set up every other aspect of their offense and will do so against the Packers’ weak run defense.

Green Bay has struggled to stop the run this season, ranking 30th by allowing 4.7 yards per rush. San Fran will have good success on the ground and will cram it down Green Bay’s throats in this game, racking up more than 100 rushing yards.
