New York Jets vs. San Francisco 49ers Betting Odds
Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
Jets | +210 | +6.5 (-118) | 45.5 over (-111) |
49ers | -260 | -6.5 (-105) | 45.5 under (-111) |
The betting odds favor the 49ers heavily at home despite a mixed preseason record. The spread suggests that bookmakers believe in the 49ers’ ability to control the game, with a total pointing towards a relatively high-scoring affair.
Adrian Martinez QB vs. Joshua Dobbs QB
Adrian Martinez began the preseason as the first choice quarterback of the Jets, having completed 53.2% of the passes for a total of 270 yards, with no touchdowns and an interception. Martinez’s appealing yet satisfying performance has seen him complete only 61.5 of his passing attempts, revealing a possibility of him being exploited by the solid muscles of the 49ers.
Conversely, 49ers’ Joshua Dobbs has posted better numbers completing 66.7 of his attempts for a total of 351 yards and one touchdown. Opportunities pass control under pressure and slightly better stats put Dobbs in pole position to hand the 49ers winning chances more often than not.
However, in the tussle of Dobbs and Martinez in the game, the former’s experience and better efficiency might tilt the game in favor of the 49ers. The fact that Martinez did not throw any touchdown passes during the preseason may be problematic especially when it comes to turning important drives into point scorers against the San Francisco defense set up.
Jets’ Ground and Air Attack
The Jets’ offensive hopes may lean heavily on their running game, where rookie Israel Abanikanda has shown promise. With 129 rushing yards in the preseason and an impressive average of 6.1 yards per carry, his ability to break through the defensive line could be pivotal. In the air, wide receiver Brandon Smith, although not scoring, accumulated 120 yards over three games, showing potential for big plays.
49ers’ Offensive Strategy
San Francisco counters with Jordan Mason, who also made significant strides in the running game, accumulating 76 yards over just two games. His rushing performance, coupled with receiving threat Trent Taylor—who gathered 117 yards from 7 receptions—illustrates a balanced offensive approach that could exploit the Jets’ defensive weaknesses.

New York Jets vs. San Francisco 49ers Betting Previews
Keeping the aforementioned variables and the last performance in view, the edge looks to be with the 49ers, especially in terms of the balanced offense and the slightly steadier quarterback play. That being said, the preseason of the Jets is a perfect one. Hence, they should not be taken lightly, especially due to their strong running.
Despite being the underdogs, the Jets are not a team that will go quietly without putting up a fight. For those placing wagers on this game, covering the spread on the Jets might not be a bad gamble because of the 49ers’ miserable home record against the spread. When considering this total, it would seem reasonable to look at the under, given the recent history of games played between the two teams.
