The Packers and 49ers meet in San Francisco for the Week 3 Sunday Night Football game. The Packers rebounded from their Week 1 dud by hammering the Lions in the Week 2 Monday Night Football game.

Game: Green Bay Packers at San Francisco 49ers

Spread: SF -3.0 Points

Over/Under: 50.5 Points

Packers Analysis: Aaron Jones stole the show last Monday, scoring four touchdowns with 115 yards from scrimmage and six receptions. He's positioned for another big showing this week.
