Two of the 49ers’ most vital and youthful players, Brock Purdy and Jake Moody, could be impacted by the rain.
It would be insane to predict the Packers to defeat the 49ers, but the spread puts this game closer than most. Let’s dissect it.
There are excellent quarterbacks on both sides. The 49ers don’t have an excellent offensive line like the Packers do. The Packers’ edge over the 49ers ends there.
The running back for the Packers is outstanding. The best running back is on the 49ers.
There are two young, talented tight ends on the Packers roster. The top tight end is on the 49ers.
A youthful set of talented wide receivers plays for the Packers. There are two outstanding wide receivers on the 49ers.
The defense for the Packers is passable and has shown some improvement over the last several weeks. The 49ers’ defense is outstanding.
Therefore, even though it is predicted to rain throughout the game—which is wonderful news for the Packers—there is virtually no way the 49ers should lose. Because Brock Purdy and Jake Moody, two of the 49ers’ most vital and youthful players, could be impacted by the rain.
Purdy was terrible during the 49ers’ lone rainy game of the season, which took place in Cleveland during Week 6. He has inconsistent ball placement and ball security. As time ran down, Moody also failed to make a field goal that may have won the game.
This should be a low-scoring contest that ends with a field goal.
