Our Patriots vs. 49ers pick is for San Francisco to win and cover the spread.

New England had two solid performances in the opening weeks of the NFL season, but showcased their many flaws against the Jets.

On the other hand, the 49ers didn’t start the campaign well, posting a 1-2 record that is below expectations without star RB Christian McCaffrey.

Patriots vs. 49ers Head to Head-to-Head Stats

In 14 matches played so far, the 49ers have nine victories, while the Patriots have five. Four years ago was the last time they met, with San Francisco dominating New England 33-6.

Before Betting

The Patriots suffered a 24-3 loss on Thursday Night Football against the Jets. It wasn’t Aaron Rodgers who beat them, but the NYJ defense, which limited them to only 11 first downs. New England had 139 yards from the scrimmage in this event, while allowing 400 on the other end.

Both Jacoby Brissett and Drake Maye played for New England, and both were beaten pretty badly. Brissett suffered five sacks and Maye two, combining for 59 negative yards. The two completed just 16 passes for 120 passing yards.

The 49ers are coming off back-to-back games on the road. We know it’s tough to win away from home in the NFL, but nobody expected them to lose both of these events. After the Vikings toppled them, the Rams defeated San Francisco as well. It was a 27-24 win for the Rams. They erased a 14-0 deficit to win on a game-winning field goal.

The 49ers lost control of the game in the final period, wasting a 24-14 lead. Brock Purdy had a heck of a game, throwing for 292 yards and three scores, while posting a passer rating 137.1. Juwan Jennings was his primary target, catching all three TD passes for 175 receiving yards in the loss.

Patriots vs. 49ers Prediction

New England’s good performances are behind us, and they are likely to decline. The 49ers return to Levi’s Stadium under incredible pressure to win, and they must use this chance. This will be San Francisco’s game to lose.
