"The Bears have won back-to-back games and clinched the NFC North by virtue of the Green Bay Packers' loss on Saturday. The 49ers have won five straight and have also clinched a playoff spot. Both teams will be looking to improve their playoff positioning, with the Bears already guaranteed a home game. The 49ers are 3.5-point favorites Sunday night. Matt Bowen, Liz Loza and Pamela Maldonado offer their picks, prop bets, daily fantasy sports plays and analysis to help you bet the game."
"Total points OVER 51.5 (-112) Maldonado: This matchup screams efficiency plus volume. Both offenses are top three in plays per game and explosive plays, while both defenses struggle to generate pressure, which creates clean pocket passing for both the 49ers and Bears, extended drives and red zone opportunities. Chicago's rushing success keeps them live, and San Francisco's passing efficiency finishes drives. A one-score script could also invite late scoring."
"Brock Purdy OVER 11.5 rushing yard (-115) Loza: Purdy might not be considered a mobile QB, but he has registered at least 11 rushing yards in five of seven games this season. Meanwhile, the Bears defense has allowed the second-most rushing yards to the position. The 49ers signal-caller should get loose for upwards of 14 rushing yards (his average on the season) on Sunday Night."
Chicago enters with back-to-back wins and the NFC North title after Green Bay's loss, while San Francisco brings a five-game winning streak and a secured playoff berth. Both teams aim to improve seeding; Chicago is already guaranteed at least one home playoff game. Oddsmakers list the 49ers as 3.5-point favorites for Sunday Night Football. Analysts offer game picks, betting props, and daily fantasy advice. Key betting views include an OVER on total points due to offensive efficiency and volume, and specific player props favoring Brock Purdy’s rushing and passing production.
