Best Betting Tips - Bears vs 49ers
San Francisco 49ers -3
The 49ers are peaking at the right time. Brock Purdy has thrown eight touchdowns across his last two games, while the defence continues to limit explosive rushing plays. Chicago’s run defence ranks 27th in the league, a major concern against this matchup.
Over 52.5 Total Points
Both teams have averaged over 24 points per game across their last five outings, and two of the last three meetings between these sides have cleared the total. With elite quarterback play and aggressive play-calling, points should come.
Christian McCaffrey Over 69.5 Rushing Yards
Chicago give up five yards per carry and struggle to contain explosive runs. McCaffrey remains San Francisco’s offensive engine and is positioned perfectly to exploit this matchup.
Christian McCaffrey Over 11.5 Longest Rush
McCaffrey has cleared this line in four of his last five games, with Chicago ranking bottom five in explosive run rate allowed.
Key Matchup to Watch
San Francisco Run Game vs Chicago Run Defence
While Chicago’s offence has surged late in games, their defensive vulnerability on the ground remains. If McCaffrey establishes early control, it will force Caleb Williams into a shootout against a more complete roster.
