Packers vs 49ers Preseason Game Info

2022 NFL Preseason — Week 1 Game
Green Bay Packers (0-0) vs. San Francisco 49ers (0-0)
Date: Friday, August 12, 2022
Time: 8:30 p.m. ET
Venue: Levi's Stadium — Santa Clara, CA
Coverage: NFL Network

Week 1 of the 2022 NFL preseason includes a matchup between the Green Bay Packers and San Francisco 49ers in a rematch from last season's Division Round. It's another year where expectations are high for the Packers, who'll likely be using this game to audition wide receivers as they attempt to replace Davante Adams' production.

Meanwhile, the 49ers are looking to begin a new era with Trey Lance as their starting quarterback. Head coach Kyle Shanahan already confirmed that the former 2021 third overall pick will see playing time against the Packers and he must make the most of that opportunity.

Packers vs 49ers Prediction & Pick

The Packers are rolling with Jordan Love as their starting quarterback at Levi's Stadium. The former 2020 26th overall pick hasn't looked good at all during his limited playing time and it's tough to imagine him having too much success against San Francisco's well-coached defense.

As mentioned before, Shanahan has already confirmed that Lance and some of the other 49ers starters will play on Friday. Even though Lance has had some rough moments at training camp, the talent is still there to be special and he can solidify San Francisco's trust in him with a strong performance against the Packers.

Final Score Prediction: 49ers: 20 | Packers: 13

Packers vs 49ers Best Bet

All NFL betting lines, odds and prop bets are available on FanDuel Sportsbook.

Lance and the 49ers have more to prove on Friday, while the Packers usually keep things more conservative in the preseason. There isn't too much value to be had with an outright win by San Francisco, hence why I recommend taking the 49ers winning by one to 13 points.

Bet: 49ers Win Margin — 1-13 Points (+145)
