This is not the NFC Championship Game rematch that anyone expected.
When the 49ers face the Green Bay Packers at Levi's Stadium on "Thursday Night Football," both teams will be without some big-name players due to injuries and COVID-19. The 49ers will be without nearly all their top players on offense, and the Packers could be without their top three running backs.
To no real surprise, the last-place 49ers are underdogs against the first-place Packers.
