Cons
- With a 3-point advantage, the 49ers are favored this week, suggesting more of a reliance on rushing than their normal approach.
- Accounting for their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the model projects the San Francisco 49ers to pass on 54.7% of their downs: the 5th-lowest rate on the slate this week.
- The model projects the 49ers to run the 6th-fewest total plays on the slate this week with 62.6 plays, accounting for their underlying strategic approach and game dynamics.
- The 49ers have run the 4th-fewest plays in the league this year, totaling a mere 53.5 plays per game.
- The 49ers offensive line profiles as the 4th-worst in football this year in protecting the QB, which has a harmful effect on all passing offense metrics across the board.
