The San Francisco 49ers will play host to either the Seattle Seahawks or Green Bay Packers on Jan. 19 at Levi’s Stadium. The Niners will be a solid favorite in the NFC Championship Game over either foe.
The Niners ousted the Minnesota Vikings, 27-10, in a Divisional round game. Seattle and Green Bay meet Sunday to determine San Francisco’s opponent.
San Francisco split its games with NFC West rival Seattle. Both contests were thrillers and came down to the final moments. The first meeting, in fact, went overtime as Seattle handed the Niners their first loss, 27-24, in Week 9.
They met again in the final week of the season and the Niners won, 26-21, in a game that came down to this:
There were far from as many thrills when San Francisco met Green Bay in Week 12. The Niners pasted the Pack, 37-8. Aaron Rodgers was limited to 104 yards passing. Overall, the Packers ran 70 plays for a 198 yards.
The NFC Championship will be broadcast on FOX with Joe Buck and Troy Aikman at the mics. Kickoff is set for 6:40 p.m. ET.
