The San Francisco 49ers and New York Giants will face off in Week 3 of the 2020 NFL season. It will be an interesting matchup when considering how short-handed both teams are entering this game.
It has been a rough start to the season for the Giants and that is reflective in their 0-2 record. Having to face off with the Steelers and Bears to begin the season is no easy task and as a result, New York’s offense was contained to just 29 total points and lost Saquon Barkley for the season.
Meanwhile, the 49ers enter this matchup with a 1-1 record. San Francisco came up short against an ascending Cardinals squad in their season-opener and then pummeled a weak Jets team in their previous outing.
Getting a win is crucial for both the 49ers and Giants in Week 3. San Francisco could fall behind the pack in the NFC West if they don’t stay afloat despite injuries. Meanwhile, falling to 0-3 would be demoralizing for New York without having much hope to dig out of their hole.
With that being said, let’s take a look at five bold predictions for the San Francisco 49ers vs. New York Giants matchup in Week 3 of the 2020 NFL season.
