New York Jets vs. San Francisco 49ers: Picks, Predictions, Odds and Player Props

The New York Jets will look to live up to the hype and prove they are the real deal this season, but they may struggle to secure a win in Week 1 as they travel to the West Coast to take on the San Francisco 49ers.

After another year without playoff football, the New York Jets will look to make a statement when they - with a healthy Aaron Rodgers - take on the San Francisco 49ers in Week 1 of the 2024 NFL season.

Robert Saleh's team were under the spotlight throughout the 2023 pre-season, as they were at the forefront of the Hard Knocks cameras thanks to Rodgers' arrival.

Rodgers' move to New York finally gave Jets fans some hope, but his season lasted just four plays as he suffered an Achilles injury against the Buffalo Bills. While the Jets rallied to win that game in overtime on a special night in New York, their season was over before it even got going.

The 49ers, meanwhile, came within minutes of going all the way. Kyle Shanahan's team reached the NFL Championship, only to lose 25-22 after overtime to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Both teams have had contract disputes to resolve in the final few weeks of pre-season - the 'Niners solved theirs while the Jets did not - and all eyes will be on the Levi's Stadium on Monday night.

New York Jets vs. San Francisco 49ers betting picks and predictions

San Francisco 49ers -4.5 (-110)

The 49ers were once again top dogs in the NFC West as they finished with a record of 12-5. Shanahan's team has a roster that is ready to win an NFL Championship, but it is easier said than done in what is a brutal 17-game regular season.

San Francisco fans will have been worried to see both Brandon Aiyuk and Trent Williams delay their contract talks, but both have put pen to paper and will be suited up on Monday evening.

Christian McCaffrey has also shaken off an injury and should be ready to go, but the 49ers face a Jets team looking for some luck.

When trading for Rodgers, the Jets thought they had found the answer to their quarterback issues, but they were left with mediocre QB play after his injury, with Zach Wilson now playing for the Denver Broncos.

If Rodgers stays fit, the Jets have every chance of reaching the playoffs and more, but he's going to be rusty after a year without competitive football, and he has admitted that himself.

The Jets have work to do on offense, so playing the best team in the NFC is the worst possible matchup for them in Week 1.

While the Jets should not be blown away due to their incredible defense, they could well come up short on their first away trip of the season.

Breece Hall Over 94.5 Rushing and Receiving Yards (-115)

After Rodgers' injury, the Jets tried to run the ball to stay in games, but running back Hall had no chance behind their lackluster offensive line.

Jets general manager Joe Douglas turned to two veterans to solve their issues, and Morgan Moses and Tyron Smith will add some real quality at tackle. Former Baltimore Ravens ace Moses was also joined by left guard John Simpson, and there's some real optimism from Gang Green that they can get the best out of Hall.

He finished with 1,585 scrimmage yards in 2023, and in pre-season he claimed he hopes to be known as the best back in the NFL by February.

Hall is elusive and powerful and, if given space, will score a touchdown from anywhere on the field, so he will be confident of living up to the hype.

He is also one of the best dual-threat backs in the league, so he should be able to get at least 100 yards on Monday in California.
