Both the New England Patriots (1-2) and San Francisco 49ers (1-2) have losing streaks they need to break when they face off on Sunday, September 29 at 4:05 PM ET at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
Our New England Patriots vs. San Francisco 49ers NFL betting preview is ready, which shows the 49ers favored with their point spread at -10.0 (-110).
The Patriots had no shot against the New York Jets in their last matchup, as they allowed Aaron Rodgers to get comfortable. They eventually fell 24-3 and barely had any offense to counteract their lack of defense.
Jacoby Brissett continues to play solid football, but nothing spectacular that would propel a team to consistency on the offensive end. He completed 12 of 18 passes for 98 yards, which is great if you are not planning to win games.
The Patriots allowed 400 yards from the Jets, with Rodgers contributing 281 of those. They put up 139 yards but had a turnover along the way. They also had possession of the ball for just under 20 minutes.
Their offense ranks second to last with 13.0 points a game. On defense, they have not done well; rather, they have played teams that have ground out the clock. They are allowing 19.0 points a game and rank 10th.
The 49ers have lost their last two games by six points or less each. They had a devastating 27-24 defeat against the Los Angeles Rams, especially since they started off the game with a 14-0 lead after the first quarter.
Brock Purdy missed just seven of his 30 passes and accumulated 292 yards with three touchdowns. He is currently listed as questionable due to back soreness but should be good to go against the Patriots.
The 49ers had a great game offensively but unfortunately fell apart in the second half. You cannot allow 13 points in the fourth quarter and only answer with three and expect to win.
They are averaging 24.3 points per game and rank ninth, while their defense has allowed 23.0 points a game and ranks 21st. This is a tight margin, but they should be able to get back on track sooner than later.
The NFL betting odds in the New England Patriots vs. San Francisco 49ers showdown is offered through MyBookie, which shows the 49ers as 10-point favorites. Market research predicts the 49ers will win with a 77.2 percent chance of certainty.
The Patriots do not have a sustainable offense from Brissett if he is only giving them a handful of safe passes. Purdy will likely have a big game here and be able to push the 49ers to cover the spread.
