Why the 49ers can cover
The San Francisco 49ers are a top team in the NFL and are looking to continue their dominance. Head coach Kyle Shanahan is one of the best play-callers in the league. Last season, the 49ers were second in the NFL in total offense (398.4), fourth in passing offense (257.9) and third in rushing offense (140.5).
This unit is littered with playmakers, but running back Christian McCaffrey headlines the list. The 28-year-old is a dual-threat out of the backfield for the 49ers. He has hands like a wide receiver but runs the ball with force. Last season, he was tied for second in the NFL in carries (272), fourth in rushing touchdowns (14) and first in rushing yards (1,459). He’s compiled 15 games with at least 100 total scrimmage yards in the regular and postseason. See who to back at SportsLine.
Why the Jets can cover
The New York Jets are getting quarterback Aaron Rodgers back into the fold, which is a boost. They got reinforcements along the offensive line and that should pay dividends for New York. Rodgers is 40-years-old, but he has the field vision and arm talent to make any throw. In his career, he’s completed 65% of his passes for 59,055 yards with 475 passing touchdowns and 105 interceptions.
The Jets have young playmakers all over the offense, but receiver Garrett Wilson has the most upside. The Ohio State product has reeled in 178 receptions (315 targets) for 2,145 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. With Rodgers at the helm now, he has the chance to take a leap in 2024.
