Week 4 Preview: Jaguars Visit 49ers With Turnover Edge as San Francisco Sorts Injuries

Expert picks remain split around a 3.5-point spread.

Overview

  • Jacksonville (2-1) travels to Levi's Stadium to face undefeated San Francisco (3-0) on Sunday, Sept. 28.
  • Several USA TODAY panelists report Nick Bosa is out for the season and note uncertainty at quarterback, with Brock Purdy described as a possible starter and Mac Jones as banged-up.
  • Jacksonville enters with a league-best pressure rate allowed of 9.2% and a +5 turnover differential, tied for first.
  • San Francisco’s defense allows 16.3 points per game (third), but its pass rush ranks near the bottom by pressure rate and its turnover margin sits at -1.
  • The 49ers lead the all-time series 5-2, including a 34-3 win in 2023, yet current betting outlooks show analysts divided between Jaguars +3.5 and 49ers -3.5.
