NFL
San Francisco comes in at 1-0 after scoring 27 points and piling up 379 total yards in its opener, with strong work on the ground and a defense that gave up just seven points. Miami is 0-1 after scoring 13 points and producing 259 total yards, with the passing game carrying most of the load and the run game producing less. The 49ers also own the better yards-per-play edge on offense and the sharper defensive efficiency through one week, while Miami has already been outscored by 14 points and allowed 27 in its first game.
San Francisco is the better side across the most important early metrics and should be able to control this game at home. The 49ers have the stronger offense, the better scoring profile, and the more dependable defense so far, while Miami has struggled to generate enough points to keep pace. The projected final score is San Francisco 31, Miami 14, which supports a 49ers cover and a game that lands near the mid-40s in total points.
