2. Brock Purdy Keeps Up Impressive Streak
The 49ers’ current winning streak is one of the most unprecedented feats in recent NFL history. Everyone expected them to be good, but to be winning in the fashion that they are with Mr. Irrelevant 2022 Brock Purdy leading the way is a different story. Purdy wasn’t expected to get near the field after being the last pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, but he has been tearing it up for the 49ers.
Since taking over as the starter in Week 14 for an injured Jimmy Garoppolo, Purdy has been one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. He is leading the league in numerous categories and the 49ers haven’t missed a beat.
Purdy has thrown for at least two touchdowns in every appearance this season and that streak will continue in the playoffs. The Iowa State product will throw for two touchdowns and rush one more in for good measure.
1. 49ers Roll Into Divisional Round
The San Francisco 49ers handled the Seattle Seahawks with relative ease during the regular season. While facing off against the same opponent a third time will have its challenges, the 49ers have the Seahawks’ number this season.
Just like the first two matchups of the season, the 49ers are going to come out on top in this one and advance to the Divisional Round. Geno Smith will help keep the game competitive for a large chunk of the game, but San Francisco will eventually come out ahead and win the game by double digits.
