Will the New England Patriots beat the San Francisco 49ers in week 15?

Looking at the schedule of this week’s games I gotta say a few of the matchups this week are going to be listed among some of the most exciting and most important games of the season so far. The football game between the San Francisco 49ers and the New England Patriots is one of those games.

The New England Patriots, Leading the AFC East and division champs, meet the NFC West leaders San Francisco 49ers at Gillette Stadium in New England on Sunday night. Each team currently holds the 2nd seed spot in their conference and each one of them needs the win to hold on to their spot in the playoff round and the bye week.

Looking at what the sports books have the odds at on this game I have question this slightly and take a much closer look before making my betting choice. The bookies have the point spread on this game at 5 points with the Patriots winning.

I admit I am a fan of Tom Brady and New England, but being a fan alone does not win the football game. Both the Patriots and the 49ers are each having a very good year that is why they are each leading their divisions.

New England is currently ranked number 1 in offense, 5th in passing and 7th on the ground. But before you get too excited, San Francisco is ranked number 2 in defense. They are 5th in sacks and have 38 for the season. This will keep the offensive line of New England busy trying to stop the penetration of the 49er defense.

Are you saying the San Francisco 49ers will beat the New England Patriots?

No I’m not. San Francisco has a great defense and their offense is ranked 2nd on the ground but I think that the Patriots have been making a lot of improvements on both sides of the ball. Tom Brady has been hitting a little over 64% and although they do not have a top ranked ground game, Stevan Ridley is over 1000 yards and is averaging 4.6 yards per carry.

I think the Patriots are more versatile on their offense. Brady has many receivers to pick from and he has shown that no matter what coverage his opponents throw at him he can always seem to find someone to get the ball to and make the yards.

Would I bet on the Patriots with a 5 point spread? Yes I would, but if the line moves at all I would probably change my mind. In reality I think New England has it in them to win this game by a touchdown, but when it comes to placing a bet you have to look at the odds and bet safe.

In the end I do think that the Patriots are a safe bet. If they can win this game they have a softer schedule for their last two games so they could end up winning the divisional round bye week.
