Jets Chances To Win vs 49ers

The Jets have opened up as 5-point favorites for the first Monday Night Football game of the season. The total is set at 44.5 with the Jets at +180 on the moneyline.

Aaron Rodgers is back, and the former NFL MVP is going to need to play like it to dethrone a team that has been among the best and most consistent in the NFL over the last few seasons. This game will be played in San Francisco at Levi Stadium.

The 49ers are the favorite here, but there is more unknown about the Jets and how Rodgers, who was added in the 2023 offseason, will perform. New York had one of the most talented defenses last year, but the spread suggests its offense isn't quite there yet to compete with a team like San Francisco, especially on the road.

How The Jets Win vs 49ers

The Jets will be able to win this game if they limit a dynamic 49ers offense and keep Rodgers upright long enough to find his dangerous weapons like Garrett Wilson. New York ended last season with a 9.62% quarterback sack percentage which sat in the bottom five of the NFL. It ranked well in most defensive areas, so it really will boil down to how well its offense competes with San Francisco. The 49ers had the sixth-worst opponent 3rd down conversation rate at 42.47% last season as well, so the Jets must exploit that and keep their offense on the field.

How The 49ers Win vs Jets

The 49ers had the most dominant franchise in the 1990s, and while that's currently the Chiefs, they have turned things around and have won 12-plus games in 2 straight seasons and been to the NFC Conference Championship Game or Super Bowl in 3 straight. It sounds simple, but they win by continuing what they've done. Keeping weapons like Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey involved will be crucial as well as how well Nick Bosa and Leonard Floyd can get to Rodgers, who went down in Week 1 of 2023 with a season-ending injury.

History of Jets 49ers Games

The Jets and 49ers, with the Jets in the AFC East and the 49ers in the NFC West, haven't competed against each other often. They have played 14 times since 1971 and have never met in the Super Bowl - the only way these two teams would meet in the playoffs. San Francisco won eight of nine games to start but has tailed off that dominance as of late, winning two of the last three.

All-Time Best Jets 49ers Games

The Jets and 49ers haven't played in any massive games throughout the years, but there have been a slew of times when both teams were among the better organizations in their conference. That's expected to be again be the case this upcoming season.

Game 1: Sept. 6, 1998 - San Francisco 49ers 36, New York Jets 30

The 1998 NFL season was one in which both the 49ers and Jets were among the best in the league, and this was among the best regular-season games. The Jets finished 12-4 and won the AFC East while the 49ers were 12-4 and came in second in the NFC West. The 49ers ended with 557 yards and 3 touchdowns by Steve Young. Jerry Rice went for 6 catches for 86 yards and a yard. The Jets were spearheaded offensively by Keyshawn Johnson, who notched 9 receptions for 126 yards and 2 scores. This was a thriller through and through.

Game 2: Dec. 11, 2016 - New York Jets 23, San Francisco 49ers 17

Let's flip the script and talk about when these teams were a few of the worst in the NFL. Nonetheless, this game went to overtime and had a fun comeback involved. The 49ers took a 14-0 lead out of the gate and took a 17-3 lead into the half. Bilal Powell and his 145 rushing yards and 2 touchdowns helped change that as he scored in both the 4th quarter and to win the game. There were some household names like Matt Forte (3 carries and 8 yards) and Colin Kaepernick (133 yards and 1 touchdown) that took the field as well. This was the only other game that went to overtime in the 14-game series.

Game 3: Nov. 28, 1971 - San Francisco 49ers 24, New York Jets 21

This was the first game of the series, and it gets some credit for having been over five decades ago. The 49ers took a 10-0 lead into the half. Despite the Jets fight in the second half, they still failed to come out on top. Joe Namath ended with 258 passing yards and 3 touchdowns. The Jets had 21 second-half points and scored 14 in the final period.
