The 49ers will play host to the Jets this week and will also be the odds-on favorite. The betting line has San Francisco favored by 4.5 points.

It has the making for a close game, though. For the 49ers, the team is immensely talented on both sides of the ball and has been for quite some time. Now that Brandon Aiyuk and Trent Williams have ended their contract dispute, the team should be well-stocked to compete against a very frisky Jets defense.
Christian McCaffrey, however, has been limited with some leg injuries in recent weeks, which may make the team a little more one-dimensional on offense than they would like to be.

Alternatively, the Jets have had one of the top defenses in the league for a few years at this point. Head coach Robert Saleh has been one of the premier defensive minds in the league for quite some time and will be facing off against the 49ers for the first time since leaving their defensive coordinator position to be New York's coach.
Rodgers is likely to be rusty as he hasn't had game action in a year, but having talented running back Breece Hall and wide receiver Garrett Wilson should provide him the support needed to have the offense be at least competent. The game should be a fascinating way to end Week 1.
