Packers Host Their Kryptonite – 49ers Come to Town in Wild Card Round
One of the best non-divisional rivalries in the NFL writes another chapter Sunday when the San Francisco 49ers travel to Lambeau to take on the Green Bay Packers.
The San Francisco 49ers will make the trip out east to legendary Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers. The 49ers closed the season with six consecutive victories, while the Packers clawed their way to a win over the Bears in their finale to lock up the NFC North division.

The San Francisco 49ers and the Green Bay Packers meet on Saturday night in a game that most people expected before this season started. Two of the best teams heading into 2012/2013 the Niners and the Packers have each looked like dominant forces at times during the year – for the 49ers they looked untouchable early and toward the middle of the season.
The 49ers were so good last year that everyone is expecting a letdown. Some think they will be undone by not being able to repeat their phenomenal turnover ratio and others that Alex Smith isn’t possibly going to become a steady performer over the long term.
The San Francisco 49ers head north to take on the six point favorite Green Bay Packers at 1:00 PM ET at Lambeau Field in what is a battle of rejuvenated teams after recording much needed victories last week.
