The 49ers are a 3.5-point favorite in this week's game, likely leading to a rushing game script.Accounting for their underlying traits and matchup dynamics, the predictive model expects the 49ers to pass on 54.5% of their downs: the 5th-lowest rate among all teams this week.The leading projections forecast the 49ers to be the 6th-least pass-oriented offense in football near the goal line (adjusted for context) right now with a 53.3% red zone pass rate.The projections expect the San Francisco 49ers offense as the slowest paced team in the NFL (in a neutral context) right now, averaging 31.28 seconds per snap.Windy weather conditions (like the 16-mph being called for in this game) generally cause worse passing efficiency, lower air volume, and higher run volume.
