San Francisco 49ers vs New England Patriots Prediction: This is an open game for the two teams

The San Francisco 49ers and New England Patriots will battle it out at Levi's Stadium in week 4 of the National Football League. The two teams have struggled this season. How will they respond in this game?

The San Francisco 49ers played the Los Angeles Rams the previous weekend and ended up losing. In that game, the San Francisco 49ers started strong with a 0-14 win but then lost 7-0 in the second quarter. While drawing 7-7 in the third quarter, a poor final quarter saw this team lose 13-2 and end up losing 27-24 at full-time. Heading into this game, the San Francisco 49ers have lost two consecutive matches, their first against the Minnesota Vikings. San Francisco 49ers lone victory this season came in their opening day game against New York Jets, ending 32-19.

The New England Patriots are coming off consecutive wins, and in this game, they will look to do better. This team pulled off a 10-16 win over Cincinnati Reds in their opening day game. However, they went on to lose to the Seattle Seahawks in week two while scoring only three points against the New York Jets. Heading into this game, the New England Patriots have lost four of their last five matches and have just two wins in their last eight matches. 

I will rely on the New England Patriots to cover the spread in this fixture. The San Francisco 49ers have not played at the level we used to see in the past years, and despite being at home, I still do not trust them here. I see this game as an open game, and a bet on points is another option to consider.
