Coming into the 2024 NFL season, it wouldn’t have been out of the ordinary to find a Super Bowl prediction featuring the Buffalo Bills or San Francisco 49ers, or both. Josh Allen’s AFC squad entered looking for its sixth straight playoff appearance. And Kyle Shanahan’s NFC juggernaut has reached four of the last five conference championships. Yet the two have endured much different journeys since then.
Both may well remain in the playoff picture by season’s end. Only Buffalo looks like a lock to actually make the dance, however, thanks to Allen elevating a shuffled and injury-tested supporting cast alongside a top-10 scoring defense under Sean McDermott. San Francisco, on other hand, is trying to avoid a spiral in the crowded NFC West, now 5-6 after Brock Purdy became the latest big-name starter to go down.
The 49ers could have Purdy back for Sunday’s meeting with the Bills, but either way, this one’s must-see material, with lots of playoff-race implications. How can you tune in? Which players could be X-factors? And who’s primed to win? Here’s our preview and sports betting prediction for the anticipated showdown:
