The Green Bay Packers found a way to beat the Dallas Cowboys during the Wild Card round of the playoffs despite their doubters saying otherwise.
Jordan Love made a true impact in his first career playoff game, and the defense also held up their end of the bargain.
Despite the positivity surrounding this team after their victory, a bigger fish awaits.
The Packers are taking on the San Francisco 49ers in the divisional round, a team that presents a challenging test for any opponent.
Craig Carton previewed this matchup in a recent segment of his show, saying, “The Packers are getting blown out in San Francisco.”
“The Packers are getting BLOWN OUT in San Francisco.”

They are 9.5-point underdogs, indicating that most sportsbooks agree with Carton.
While Carton was impressed with what the Packers did against the Cowboys, he also said, “You can’t dismiss what San Fran did all year.”
The Packers might have some momentum on their side, but Carton mentions that if the 49ers come hot out of the gates, they will be a difficult team to stop.
This will be another test for Love, who has already more than proven himself as the Packers’ starter for the foreseeable future.
He won over the fanbase due to his play throughout the year, and he swung many people his way across the league by beating the Cowboys last week.
Can he find a way to lead the Packers to another surprising victory?
To Carton, this would be an impressive upset, given what the 49ers accomplished throughout the regular season.
