The 49ers piled on the points last weekend against Tennessee, in fact over their last 4 games, all wins, they have averaged 30+ pts. Brock Purdy has been electric, putting to bed the rumours from earlier in the season that the team might want to move him on. He will be the key player in this matchup against a Colts defence ranked 31st in opponent Pass Yards.
For Indianapolis, unfortunately this is likely to end up being a season of what could have been. An 8-2 record heading into their week 11 bye, the road seemed to be paved with gold. Then the wheels fell off, 4 straight losses, no scores higher than 20 pts and their reformed star at QB gone for the season.
This team may still limp into the playoffs thanks to their amazing start and the relative poor records of other teams in the conference, but they won’t hang around long. The high scoring games of September and October are a distant memory, now they are just trying to cling to relevancy.
Take the Niners to win by more than one score and the Colts team total to stay under 20. Brock Purdy will lead the team through the air, take his Passing Over 244.5 and George Kittle to get into the endzone.
- The Colts have lost 4 straight, not scoring more than 20 points on all 4 occasions.
- San Francisco are ranked 11th in scoring defence, restricting teams to an average of 20.9 per game.
- Indianapolis are ranked 31st in opponent pass yards, Brock Purdy has busted poor secondaries this season, he threw 295 yds last week.
- George Kittle has 6 receiving TD’s this season and has a 20% Red Zone Target share.

San Francisco 49ers Form
San Francisco extended their record to 10-4 last weekend with a solid 37-24 win over the Tennessee Titans. Despite the fantastic record, they are still 3rd in their division and risk dropping out of the playoffs if they don’t win out.
They have now won 4 straight games averaging 31 pts per game on offence while allowing just 15.75 pts to their opponents through the streak. Brock Purdy finished with a 140.3 rate last weekend, passing for 295 yards and 3 TD’s without giving up the ball.
The defence probably should not have allowed 24 pts to the Titans but when the scoring is flowing at one end, it is difficult to restrict entirely at the other. They will need to tighten up their 12th ranked rush defence against the Colts this weekend.

Indianapolis Colts Form
The Colts brought in Grandpa Rivers last weekend for their matchup against the Seattle Seahawks and while the old boy did look a little rusty, they weren’t terrible. They still ended up losing 18-16 but there was only 1 TD in the game, thrown by Philip Rivers in the 2nd quarter.
Rivers had a 73.1 rate with 120 yards from 18 completions for 1 TD and 1 INT. He was sacked once in the game. On the other end Sam Darnold was not brought down but also didn’t connect with any receivers in the end zone, only the 4th time this season a team has held him quiet.
Indianapolis have the 12th ranked scoring defence and the 6th ranked rush defence but are 31st against the pass allowing 247 yards per game.
