Bears vs. 49ers on Sunday Night Football With NFC Seeding at Stake

Oddsmakers favor San Francisco by a field goal as Chicago’s elite turnover edge meets a 49ers offense on a five-game surge.

Overview

  • Kickoff is Sunday at 8:20 p.m. ET at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, with national coverage on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
  • Both teams are 11-4 and already in the postseason, and the winner remains alive for the NFC’s No. 1 seed; Chicago can clinch the NFC North with a win or if Green Bay loses Saturday.
  • Sportsbooks list San Francisco around -3 with a total near 52.5 points, and SportsLine’s 10,000-simulation model projects the Over at roughly 53 combined points.
  • Chicago enters unbeaten against the spread over its last six games with a league-best +21 turnover differential, while San Francisco has won five straight and leads key offensive efficiency metrics during that span.
  • The 49ers could be without tight end George Kittle and receiver Ricky Pearsall, and they continue to manage injuries to defensive leaders Fred Warner and Nick Bosa.
