Pick by FOX Sports Betting Analyst Chris Fallica:
Last week’s loss at the Rams was awful and inexcusable for the Niners, even with all the injuries. To blow a two-TD lead against a team with as many key injuries as the Rams just can’t happen. Fortunately, the Niners get one of the worst teams in the league at home as a get-right spot. The Patriots O-Line against the Jets was downright awful and I can’t see it getting much better here. S.F. gets up early and rolls to a blowout win.
PICK: 49ers (-10.5) to win by more than 10.5 points
