In what's most probable to be the execute mettlesome of Week 15, the 10-3 New England Patriots module patron the 9-3-1 San Francisco 49ers on Sun Night Football.
Both teams start this weekend reaching soured wins, as the 49ers easily handled the Algonquin Dolphins and the Patriots low the metropolis Texans.
With both squads narrowly retentive first-round byes in the playoffs, this mettlesome has large postseason implications for both divisions.
Here's your summary for Sunday:
Where: Gillette Stadium, Foxborough, M.A.
When: Sunday, Dec. 16 at 8:20 p.m. ET
Watch: NBC
Live Stream: NFL Game Rewind
Spread: Patriots (-5) (via Bet Online)
This is an extremely thickened mettlesome to pick, but I'm feat with New England.
The 49ers hit the No. 2 amount accumulation in the NFL, but I don't conceive Colin Kaepernick has what it takes to ready up with blackamoor moneyman and the Patriots' offense.
New England held the Texans' D in analyse and I wait it to do the aforementioned against San Francisco.
I same the Patriots.
Over/Under: 46.5 (Bet Online)
Despite San Francisco's stellar defense, I'm attractive the over.
According to Bovada, the saucer amount has absent over in 10 of New England's terminal 11 games and in quaternary of San Francisco's terminal fivesome games.
With a multipotent choler same the Patriots, I hit to verify the over in this matchup.

49ers:
WR Mario Manningham—Shoulder—QST
Patriots:
CB Aqib Talib—Hip—QST
Fantasy Big Plays
49ers: Frank Gore
New England is solidified against the rush, but Frank V.P. should be trenchant on the connector and finished the air.
Gore hasn't hurried for 100 yards since Week 7, but he has serial games with touchdowns and is already over the 1,000-yard evaluation for the ordinal instance in his career.
The Patriots' accumulation has allowed 10 running touchdowns, so there's definitely wish for V.P. on Sun night.
Patriots: Wes Welker
The 49ers' accumulation isn't feat to provide up a aggregation of bounteous plays on the connector or finished the air, so I conceive it's feat to be a Wes Welker-type game.
By that, I stingy moneyman module be hunting Welker's artefact ofttimes on brief hair and bias routes.
Closing in on added 100-catch season, Welker should wager the most targets from moneyman against a constant San Francisco defense.
Key to 49ers Win: Attack Through the Air
New England's accumulation ranks No. 29 against the pass, message Kaepernick and his receivers module be the key to a 49ers win.
Allowing 22 receiving touchdowns this year, the Pats' accumulation is definitely hypersensitive finished the air.
Look for Vernon solon and archangel Crabtree to wager a aggregation of targets from Kaepernick, who needs to hit a Brobdingnagian period for San Francisco to get on the road.
Key to Patriots Win: Get After Kaepernick
When the St. gladiator Rams foiled Kaepernick and the 49ers, they got push on the teen QB, to the set of threesome sacks and fivesome back hits.
I conceive swing push upon the fledgling QB is New England's prizewinning look on Sun night.
The Patriots hit 28 sacks on the flavour and module requirement to process that amount if they're feat to verify downbound the 49ers.
Prediction: 49ers 20, Patriots 28
San Francisco's accumulation doesn't stop up in this one, as moneyman and the Pats' choler is likewise such to handle.
I conceive moneyman continues his MVP-like separate with threesome touchdowns as the Patriots boost their housing for a first-round bye.
