Let\u2019s take a look at the playoff implications for the outcomes.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"oCOCJ0\">Where are the Packers in the NFL Playoff Picture?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"WNxVY6\">The 7-3 Packers currently hold the No. 6 seed in the NFC but are still in play for the NFC North crown, just two games behind the 9-1 Detroit Lions and a game behind the 8-2 Minnesota Vikings. A loss wouldn\u2019t remove the Packers from the playoff field but would hamper any hopes of a division crown.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tcQ5Db\">What is the San Francisco 49ers\u2019 place in the NFC standings?<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/library.sportingnews.com\/styles\/twitter_card_120x120\/s3\/2024-01\/Jordan%20Love%2C%20Brock%20Purdy%20011524.png?itok=B-o9Thcx\" alt=\"49ers vs. Packers playoff game updates: TV channel, time, injury report,  weather forecast and more | Sporting News\" \/><\/p>\n<p id=\"yqTmfO\">On the other hand, the 5-5 49ers are playing for their playoff lives. Currently sitting as the No. 10 seed, San Francisco has the same record as the Rams and Seahawks but is behind in seeding due to tie-breakers. Despite being behind both Seattle and Los Angeles, the NFL.com playoff picture gives the 49ers a better chance to make the postseason than its division rivals at 31 percent (Seattle is 23 percent and the Rams at 14).<\/p>\n<p id=\"koQ9Lm\">If San Francisco loses on Sunday in Green Bay, its playoff probability drops to 16 percent.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Ki6nuT\">But before the two NFC rivals meet on Sunday, let\u2019s look at the last five games for the 49ers and Packers to see how we got to this point:<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"NxMSbg\">49ers\u2019 last five games<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"1U30DA\">Week 6: at Seattle, W 36-24<\/li>\n<li id=\"EPRXHi\">Week 7: versus Kansas City, L 28-18<\/li>\n<li id=\"ee02Ta\">Week 8: versus Dallas, W 30-24<\/li>\n<li id=\"P4kAmB\">Week 9: bye<\/li>\n<li id=\"1BvCFC\">Week 10: at Tampa Bay, W 23-20<\/li>\n<li id=\"SAKxlQ\">Week 11: versus Seattle, L 20-17<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"ORpJdj\">Packers\u2019 last five games<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"r7H6HW\">Week 6: versus Arizona, W 34-13<\/li>\n<li id=\"5RMy2G\">Week 7: versus Houston, W 24-22<\/li>\n<li id=\"5aqL8G\">Week 8: at Jacksonville, W 30-27<\/li>\n<li id=\"WKyE3v\">Week 9: versus Detroit, L 24-14<\/li>\n<li id=\"Ay2FBm\">Week 10: bye<\/li>\n<li id=\"rAjQrv\">Week 11: at Chicago, W 20-19<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"VVQezu\">There are some differences \u2013 win\/loss the record is the biggest, with Green Bay at 4-1 and San Francisco at 3-2\u2014but also plenty of similarities. Both teams lost to the best team over the five-game stretch by precisely 10 points; both won and lost games against a divisional opponent, and both played in three one-possession games, with the Packers 3-0 in those games and the 49ers at 2-1.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"camSQl\">How do the 49ers and Packers perform in one-score games?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"6GzZHV\">If we zoom out from the five-game sample size and look at both teams\u2019 entire seasons, the one-possession game is where the 49ers and Packers differentiate. Green Bay\u2019s Week 11 win against the Bears was the Packers\u2019 seventh one-possession game this season, going 5-2. San Francisco\u2019s Week 11 loss to Seattle was San Francisco\u2019s sixth one-possession game of the season, dropping the 49ers to 2-4 in such games.<\/p>\n<p id=\"7fSDkX\">A slight consolation, but the 49ers were 0-3 in one-possession games before the above five-game stretch, before beating Dallas and Tampa Bay in consecutive one-score games. On the other hand, the 49ers had leads of 17 and 10 points in each respective game before holding on to the tight wins.<\/p>\n<p id=\"9pwu27\">Green Bay\u2019s ability to win close games is why they are in the thick of the playoff race, while the 49ers\u2019 inability to come out with a win in tight games is why they are outside the bubble. One thing is sure: both teams have played plenty of close games, so we can expect a tight one on Sunday at Lambeau.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A look at how the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers have fared in one score games and their previous five   contests<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":3900,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-green-bay-packers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
