Chris’ Pick
It may be the square play here but I have to stick with the 49ers until they give me a reason not to. San Francisco’s been the best team in the NFL and while Cleveland’s defense has been solid, it couldn’t slow down the Ravens and the 49ers are just a better team across the board. There’s also no telling if Deshaun Watson is fully healthy and if he can’t go, imagine DTR against this 49er defense. Yikes. Give me the Niners by a touchdown.
