New England Patriots vs. San Francisco 49ers Football Preview - September 29-2024

For Week 4, New England hosts San Francisco with 10.5 point favorites opening as over/under total of 39.5.

The New England Patriots have been impressive on both ends of the field through three weeks, but their rushing attack needs improvement. So far they've only eclipsed 200 yards twice (217 against Miami and 249 against Los Angeles Rams), and only scored two touchdowns so far on offense.

On the other hand, the defense has been impressive. Cornerbacks Stephon Gilmore and Jason McCourty have been impressive while safeties Jarquarski Tartt and Jimmie Ward have provided solid support in the secondary. Although some aspects of their defensive line play have been slightly lacking due to Dee Ford and Nick Bosa being out due to injuries.

The 49ers need a lot of work on both sides of the ball. Their defense ranks 31st overall and they average just 13 points per game, plus Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel and George Kittle have been key losses for them. Brock Purdy has performed adequately in passing game but more will be expected of running backs to help push out wins against teams like Los Angeles Rams.
