Preview
How it plays out
San Francisco 49ers vs Baltimore Ravens is an inter-conference matchup: the NFC 49ers hosting the AFC Ravens. This projects as a coin flip, 53-47 with the spread at SF -0.5. Only 2 spots separate them in the power rankings, about as even as it gets.
Tactically, San Francisco 49ers will want to lean on disruptive front to attack Baltimore Ravens, whose pass-rush depth is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Baltimore Ravens's record-setting rushing could punish San Francisco 49ers if secondary turnover goes unaddressed. Expect both staffs, Kyle Shanahan and John Harbaugh, to script around exactly that battle.
Keep an eye on Brock Purdy (QB) and Lamar Jackson (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. 49ers get the home crowd, worth a few points of swing before kickoff.
