RyanPropz - 49ers @ Packers Picks 1/22

On Saturday we get an exciting matchup of two star studded offenses. I will be focusing in on one of those stars in this article. Before we get there let's talk about the game.

It is gonna be freezing cold as you’d expect for a night game in Lambeau in January. It is predicted to be about 8 degrees at kickoff. This doesn’t concern me much for the Packers, but if I lived in SF I would be dreading playing in those conditions. I would even consider calling outta work that day. Now if this season went the way we all thought, I may not consider this prop as heavily. Thankfully, on November 15 the 49ers invented a new position for Deebo Samuel. A position he referred to as a “Wide Back”. His usage in the backfield began picking up when Elijah Mitchell was battling a rib injury, and boy was that a great idea! Since 11/15, Deebo has played 9 games and he has scored at least once in 8 of them. This past weekend, Deebo’s usage in the backfield increased even more as he saw a career high 10 carries. With the weather the way it is, and his ever increasing usage as an RB I expect the 9ers to hand the ball to Deebo frequently, and of course he’s still a huge threat through the air every game. I don’t care if he catches one, or runs it in. We get paid either way. Considering his versatility and consistency in finding the pay dirt, this feels like a steal at plus odds.
