Patriots at 49ers picks and predictions
Prediction
49ers 31, Patriots 13
Moneyline
PASS.
There is no value on the 49ers (-600) to win Sunday.
Against the spread
BET 49ERS -10.5 (-110).
While underdogs have fared well both outright and ATS this season, that will not be the case in this matchup. The Niners found a lot of success last week against the Rams, leading by as many as 14 points before a 4th-quarter collapse. Against the Patriots, expect San Francisco to get back on track with a statement win.
Over/Under
BET OVER 40.5 (-110).
The 49ers will have to carry a majority of the load in order for the Over to hit. They have scored 24 or more points in 2 of 3 games this season and allowed 19 or more in all 3. With many players returning from injury this week, Purdy will have more targets and opportunities to put the ball in the end zone against a weak New England defense.
