We have a great SNF matchup this week between the 49ers and the Bills. The Bills enter week 13 as the number 2 seed in the AFC, while the 49ers find themselves with a surprising 5-6 record, yet still right in the NFC West race. A win on SNF will go a long way toward each team’s run to the playoffs. Here are 5 bold predictions for SNF!
Josh Allen rushes for 2 TDs
The 49ers are a tough defense, and when teams get inside the red zone, it’s even tougher to score on them. Allen using his legs is a good way to keep the 9ers defense and pass rush off balance.
Christian McCaffrey has 150 all-purpose yards and 7 catches
RBs have had good success vs. the Bills this season, and the 49ers desperately need CMC to get rolling if they want any chance of winning this game on the road in Buffalo.
Keon Coleman leads the Bills in receiving yards
The rookie wide receiver will be back after missing games due to an injury. Shakir and Cooper get the most attention, but Coleman is the deep threat, and I think the Bills will test the 49ers secondary and take some deep shots.
George Kittle catches 2 TD passes
He is the best red zone option in the passing game for the 49ers, and every team focuses so much on stopping CMC that Kittle finds himself in winnable one-on-one matchups in the end zone.
The Bills defense scores a TD
The weather could be a problem for the 49ers in this game, especially if they fall behind and are forced to pass the football too much. The Bills pass rushers will then be able to tee off and get pass pressure, leading to sacks and an eventual fumble return for a TD.
