Key Factors
Favors Over
The 49ers are a heavy 7.5-point favorite this week, likely creating an extreme rushing game script.

Favors Under
THE BLITZ projects this game to have the 2nd-lowest volume of plays run on the slate this week at 127.1 plays, accounting for the tendencies of each team and game dynamics.

THE BLITZ projects Deebo Samuel to be much less involved in his team's running game this week (7.2% projected Carry Share) than he has been this year (14.2% in games he has played).
The San Francisco 49ers have gone up against a stacked the box on 18.6% of their plays since the start of last season, 7th-most in the NFL. Keeping an extra defender near the line of scrimmage improves run-stopping at the expense of better passing efficiency.
The San Francisco 49ers have gone no-huddle on a measly 3.4% of their plays outside the two-minute warning since the start of last season (7th-least in the league). This slows the pace, leading to less volume and stat-padding.
