Week 9 of the NFL season begins with the San Francisco 49ers hosting the Green Bay Packers. This is a rematch of last year’s NFC Championship Game, but both teams are very different entering this matchup.
The Packers are 5.5-point favorites on Thursday Night Football as the 49ers are extremely banged up. This doesn’t mean that the Niners can’t win the game, but they are clear underdogs.
Instead of focusing on the entire game, there is another unique way to bet on this matchup. Betting on each quarter could be extremely profitable, and we have identified the best betting lines to bet on.
TNF: Green Bay Packers vs. San Francisco 49ers Preview
Here are the odds from HR Wager, that you should be focused on heading into Thursday night.
First Quarter: Green Bay Packers -0.5 (-110)
The Packers are slim favorites to win the first quarter on Thursday night, and that is the way that you should bet. Green Bay is coming off a disappointing home loss to the Minnesota Vikings, and it will be out for redemption in this game.
Also, the Packers have scored points on their first drive in all seven games this season. Green Bay is almost impossible to stop when the offensive plays are scripted and Aaron Rodgers can do his thing.
The 49ers are dealing with a lot of offensive injuries, so it will be a slow start for San Francisco.

Second Quarter: Under 14.5 Points (-122)
The second quarter bet to make is under 14.5 points during this quarter. This game doesn’t figure to be a high-scoring affair, and defenses will start to take over the game right before halftime.
Both teams want to run the football and put together long drives, and each team could only have two possessions each during the second quarter. It’s hard to see more than two touchdowns being scored in this quarter as the battle for field position will be extremely important.
In a game like this, points will be at a premium, and taking a field goal might be the best option on some drives. There will be points scored in the second quarter, but betting under 14.5 is the right play.

Third Quarter: Over 10.5 Points (+122)
The Packers will once again come out of the locker room with a scripted set of offensive plays, and that will likely lead to a touchdown. That leaves just four more points needed in this quarter to hit this bet.
San Francisco has a great field goal kicker in Robbie Gould, and he will at least get the Niners on the board to start the second half. Green Bay could go over this total itself, but there will be more than 10.5 total points scored in quarter number three.
Fourth Quarter: San Francisco 49ers +0.5 (-110)
The Packers are the better team in this matchup, and this game could get out of hand early. Green Bay just has too many offensive weapons, and it should score a ton of points in this one.
That means that the 49ers will enter the fourth quarter with a big deficit, and they will be trying to pull off a comeback. San Francisco won’t be able to come all the way back to win the game, but it will outscore the Packers in the fourth quarter.
The 49ers were in a similar situation in Week 8, and they had a huge final frame. Look for the 49ers to win the fourth quarter, but lose the game.
