Bill Barnwell predicts Bills over the 49ers in SB LVII

A 49ers victory would probably require two or more takeaways, a great day in the red zone and a big play or two from McCaffrey in the passing game. It's hardly impossible to rule out that scenario, but there would be more paths toward Buffalo winning the game. I picked the Bills over the 49ers before the season, so I'll stick with that now. Prediction: Bills 27, 49ers 17.

The 49ers - when they’re on it - have one of the better defenses I’ve seen over the years.  The type that could give Allen a nightmare because he’d have multiple gaps in his protection, linebackers who are gonna eat against our run game, safeties who just don’t make mistakes, and in Ward a corner who’s good enough to annoy Diggs. 
 

If they had a legit QB, I’d make them the runaway favorite to win it all. As it is they have the best coach in this business IMO.

 

However, if the Bills get past both the Bengals and Chiefs then yea they’re beating SF

Exactly my prediction...then McCaffrey and Bosa want to get traded to us next year and Purdy wants to be Josh's backup.

Bills v Niners was my preseason SB prediction.  Figured if things didn’t work out with Lance,  they have Jimmy G as plan B.  Purdy coming out of nowhere and playing like he is is really surprising.  Niners are the best team in NFC imo.  Their D is LEGIT.  That would be very tough game for us if it ends up happening.  Would rather play the Eagles in the SB.

Bills/Niners would have been a better match-up for us in that 1st SB, imo.  It would have been more of a shoot-out, which I think would have favored the K-Gun and how we played at that time.

 

I'd love this match-up this year.  Much respect for the Niners D, but I'll definitely take a rookie QB in the SB over the other options.  If we get there, of course - the AFC is a gauntlet right now.
