The 49ers are 3-7 ATS in their last 10 games following a ATS win.
Of note, the 49ers are a perfect 5-0 on the road this season.
San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers are in the middle of their toughest stretch of schedule this season. Last week they
knocked off the Packers (37-8), this week they face the Ravens and next week the Saints. All of
these opposition teams are heavy contenders for the Super Bowl.
The 49ers enter this game on a two-game winning streak and are 10-1 on the season. The team
welcomed back Tight End George Kittle, who picked up where he left off before the injury. Kittle
caught six passes for 129 yards and a touchdown on Sunday after returning to the field after
missing the two previous games because of injury.
Speaking of health, this team could be getting healthy as early as this week. Joe Staley, Dee
Ford, Matt Breida and Robbie Gould, who all missed last week’s game have been upgraded to
game-time decisions for this matchup with the Ravens.
The 49ers hold the position of the number two best rushing team in the NFL, second behind the
Ravens, but still average an incredible 64.9 yards less than the Ravens per game.
Baltimore Ravens
MVP frontrunner Lamar Jackson became the first player to have five passing touchdowns in his
Monday Night Football debut (50th season) last week against the Rams in Los Angeles. He is
tied for the NFL lead in touchdown passes with Russell Wilson at 24. He is also ninth in rushing
yards with 876 and is only 164 yards away from breaking the season record of most rushing
yards by a Quarterback, set by Michael Vick back in 2006 (1039 yards).
The Ravens offensive line has been so good all season long, last Monday was another example
as they held Aaron Donald in check. The two-time defensive player of the year was held to one
assisted tackle and no other statistics. That stat came in the fourth quarter with the result
decided and Jackson on the sideline. The Ravens team rush attack is ranked number
one in the NFL with 2316 yards for an average of 210.5 yards per game. They will take on
their biggest challenge of the season when the face the front seven of the 49ers. The 49ers are
currently the leagues number one defence.
