The niners are threepoint favorites for tonight. We are on the 20 yard line here at levis on the packers side of the field. On the opposite side of the field is where the 49ers will be. They will be on the field for about an hour from now. Lets show you the scene from now. Lets take a high above look. 70,000 fans will be here. It is a bit empty right now, but it is going to fill up. Probably one of the most talked about. In fact, it is one of the most hyped games for the 49ers in this stadiums history. It was an afternoon game at 1 00. The gates will open at 3 20 this afternoon, so about 20 minutes from now. Right now fans are outside celebrating, tailgating. Now a lot of green bay fans here as well. The packers travel well. They do. Theyre here in force. But the niners already done there. I saw a live band, a big bar set up. Theyre ready to come into the stadium. For the players, thats why were here and a big story line tonight. The tight end, will he play . How about this for an indication . 30 minutes ago on instagram he posted this, said, coming at you tagging nbc and sunday night football. I bet a buck that george skitle will be back tonight and theyre going to need him because the packers are very difficult to face. Two games already. We are so glad you will hopefully be back tonight. Right now lets go outside because thats where the action is. Lets go to ian outside the stadium hanging out with fans. Whats happening out there, ian . Reporter yeah. You know, we had to come over here. Fans getting a little rowdy. They have been here since 11 00 this morning. Thats one of the good things about these sunday night football games, get to come in early, have some lunch, a drink or two or quite a bit. Mostly drinking responsibly out here. Thats good to see. Right now youre seeing some presume yum seats right now. General seats going to be going in in 15 minutes and the faithful say they are ready. There are tens of thousands of fans here already. They were here when we were here at 2 00. Long lines to get into the stadium. The packers fans travel better than any other fan base, but well see how many of them actually make it in. The niner faithful said levi field has the best feel to it. They all know whats on the line against two of these top nfc teams faceoff. The winner will have the advantage on the number one seed in the playoffs. Killing the packers tonight. Niners will be 101, baby. Home field advantage. You can feel the energy inside the stadium. It hasnt been like this since candle stick. Everybody is hyped. The excitement level on one to ten is an eleven. I go hard for my team because they go hard for us. Louis is out here every game. He is high fiving people. He says it is a good workout for about three hours before kick off. Yeah, were seeing a few packers fans coming in. Out numbering them. Thats just right now, though. The majority 49er faithful going on. I asked fans what is the level of excitement for this game, one of ten, all of them said eleven. Well see you back on the field. Back to you. All right. The assignment of the afternoon. We talk about, you know, we both grew up here, so we have seen the glory years of the 49ers and the legendary candle stick tailgate fans. It is good to see them celebrating again now. I know. Great start 91. Of course the person at the helm, jimmy garoppolo, one of their star players. As some women call him, jim mmy gorgeous. 28yearold from illinois. Hes thrown 18 touchdowns but 10 interceptions this season. He came from the patriots in 20717 where he was the second round pick in the 2014 draft. He actually went to two super bowls as backups to tom brady. When he came over to the niners he won the first five starts for the niners and then he was injured at the start of the last season and sat all last season. Now hes coming back with a vengeance leading the niners to the first 80 start since 1990. Their only loss to Seattle Seahawks monday night football in overtime. But hopefully we will raise that to 101 tonight. Its been a fun ride watching jimmy g. We all know about Aaron Rodgers. Weve seen him grow up before our eyes. He turns 36 next week. When he retires, sure bet, first ballot hall of famer. One super bowl title excuse me, two time league mvp. But our favorite memory of rogers when he was a broke college kid at cal talking about maybe playing in the National Football league. Ill be the first to ask you point blank. You are a junior well. If things go well and the nfl scouts continue to love you, will you jump out early and go to the nfl. Im just going to finish out the season strong and not worry about that. If i have the opportunity to leave, that means i had a good season so im hoping i will have the opportunity to have an option. But im loving my time at cal and working with coach every day. So im in no hurry to leave. But if thats the decision, well make that decision in the off season. That was in september of 2004. I could tell. I could tell. Are you talking about my hair . You guys have aged just a little bit. But that brings us back down memory lane, man. Thats so great. That was in 2004 when he was at cal. A few months later he declared for the draft and the 49ers passed on him and he was drafted by the packers. Thats a sore subject around here. We always think of him as a california boy for sure. All right. Were talking about now as we count down to kickoff. We are in the 3 00 hour. Who is going to play . Who is not going to play . Lets bring in Anthony Flores here. Where are you . Take it away. Reporter im down at the other side of the end zone from you guys, and big night for the 49ers tonight. They will get one of the best offensive weapons in the nfl. Should be in the lineup. George skitle is expected to play against the packers. Now, he has missed the last two games after hurting his knee and ankle against arizona on halloween. The niners have struggle running the rock. Theyre averaging 100 yards less per game rushing the football. He not only catches. Hes also a great blocker. Also expected to play is emanuel sanders. Hes been battling a rib injury. You can see against arizona he was in pain after every reception. Now, back out here live at levi stadium, this is a homecoming for Davante Adams. He is from east pal low alto. He led the vikings to a state championship as a senior. In college he went on to a record setting career. Now hes Aaron Rodgers number one target and hes coming home focussed on giving the pack a w. Its a huge win. It is a decider in the nfc. Obviously it will take everybody doing their job to win the game. Reporter now, fans are just starting to get here in levi stadium. Im looking around. I already see a huge number 17 jersey. That would be Davante AdamsGreen Bay Packers jersey. He will have a lot of support from family and friends at tonights game. Back to you. Anthony, thank you. How cool is that .

You talked about it in the leaguein. One is our schedule. Tonight against a great green bay packer team and down the stretch. They got to play us, too. Right . I know we got to play them, but they got to play us. For us, it is all about logistics. 72,000, making sure our travel, transportation. Thankfully tonight everybody has been off. But those prime time games on weekdays, i was proud of the fan. They all got in here before the game started on monday night. Some of the problems we have from a logistics perspective. Being inside, it must be electric. I know it was as loud as it got for seattle. This building can really turn it on. You know, we werent playing as well as we wanted to on the field. But people saw us in the College National championship game here. There is only 68 . Tonight we will break our own Decemb Decemb decemberable level.

Al brought it up. Were talking about the weather here. Right now it is gorgeous. Beautiful day. It couldnt be better.

Meanti meantime, if you have travel plans consider doing it tomorrow and Tuesday Morning because two to three feet of snow will be coming down for that big travel day on wednesday. So the sevenday forecast brings that weather alert in for tuesday night into wednesday. A taste of true november weather. But this is a winter blast that will drop high temperatures into t the upper 40s and low 50s. Maybe thats not lambo field, but thats a big change from the 60s and 70s. The good news, well save the best weather to start the weekend for sunday night football right here. Back to you. Okay, rob. Thanks. Beautiful forecast. Its going to be a beautiful night here on sunday night football. It is gorgeous outside. You dont even need a heavy coat. We dont. When we return, a lot to get to, influcluding two brothers.

Hopefully well see a repeat and they will make it to the playoffs again. Maybe theyre big contenders for the super bowl. We are coming to you live on the 20 yard line. A lot of the packers now are on the field as we speak. In fact, one of Aaron Rodgers favorite targets, the guy with the beard there, undrafted free argument. Aaron rodgers will target him tonight. The 49ers defense to shut that guy down. He has a big beard there. He does. Hes a little big scruffy. Hes used to green bay weather. The weather in the 60s right now. We also want to talk about the brotherly love, brotherly connection here. The packers head coach, matt lafleur, his first year as packers head coach. His kid brother is on the 49ers coaching staff. So packers, matt lafleur, he and Kyle Shanahan are good friends. They coached together. But across the sidelines tonight is his little brother. I shouldnt say little. Ill say younger brother, mike la flur. It is interesting because he wanted to go work for the packers this season. Matt, the older brother said come work for me. Kyle shanahan blocked the move. And this week, matt lafleur sent his wife and sons out to stay with mike in the bay area and said, kids, if you see the 49ers play book, go ahead and grab it. They wont get any Insider Information from us. Mike is the younger brother of the 49ers. Matt is the head coach. It is a bunch of them out here. Very nice. We will see them on the field.

Right now the Investigation Continues in union city. Police are searching for the person or persons who gunned down two boys in a parking lot. Happened early saturday at this elementary school. Victims were 11 and 14 years old. Neighbors said they never heard yelling or fighting, just gunfire. In about an hour a vigil will be held next to the parking lot where that shooting happen. Another life taken too soon. There will be a celebration of light concert for ramon sanders. In less than an hour the community will gather to remember the 19yearold. Sanders was a state championship Football Player and graduate. On friday he lost his battle with cancer after a yearlong fight. This started in 2018. He broke his leg and then found out it was the result of bone cancer. Okay. This is really cute. Take a look at this video. A baby seal is snagging parking spots on the peninsula. Hes a northern fur seal pup, found his way into a parking structure this morning. Firefighters rescued him. He is now being monitored by the Marine Mammal center. He will eventually be released into the wild. There is no word on how the seal got into the garage. The garage is located on marshall street. But at this map right here, you can see the parking structure is not far from the creek. Its suspicious. Very suspicious. So it is quite possible that the pup came from the bay via the creek. And were going to stay on that story for you. But right now lets get back to levis. Are you ready for kickoff . We are ready. We are about two hours away. We cant wait. You can see the packers on the field right now. No sign of Aaron Rodgers yet. But a lot of the guys warming up. It is not just the players now. Lets take a live look at the fans coming in.
