This is an intriguing Week 1 matchup, between the New York Jets and the San Francisco 49ers at Levi’s Stadium on September 9, 2024. The 49ers, coming off a strong 2023 season where they reached the Super Bowl, are favored by 4.5 points, reflecting their status as one of the NFC’s top contenders. The Jets, on the other hand, are looking to rebound from a disappointing 7-10 season plagued by injuries, including the early loss of quarterback Aaron Rodgers. With Rodgers back in the lineup, the Jets aim to challenge the 49ers’ formidable defense. The game is expected to be moderately scored, with an over/under set at 44.5 points. Both teams are projected to be playoff contenders this season, adding further intrigue to this Monday Night Football clash.

New York Jets vs San Francisco 49ers Betting Pick: The Jets are going to make this a surprisingly close game. Look for the Niners to win outright but the Niners will cover. This game is going to be won by field goal.

The Cowboys finished the previous season with a 12-5 record, while the Browns ended at 11-6.
