The San Francisco 49ers (1-8) are clearly on the outside looking in. A team that hasn’t won since week 1, the verdict is out how they will fare as they take on 1st ballot Hall of Fame QB Tom Brady and Super Bowl favorite New England Patriots (7-2).
To be honest, I don’t see this game being a trap game nor upset, which is why I’m taking the Patriots to win outright on the road. The 49ers defensive line received a huge boost along the team’s defensive line with the return of NT Glenn Dorsey to the starting lineup but that won’t be enough, as the pass-rush yields a different story.
