continued their second-half success with a 45-29 victory over the Arizona Cardinals (+12) in Week 14, extending their winning streak to six games ahead of a crucial Week 16 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens (+6.5) at Levi’s Stadium on Christmas.
It’s a marque end-of-season matchup between the NFL’s best two teams, record-wise, this season, and one that holds heavy playoff implications for the 49ers as they look to clinch the No. 1 seed.
Should the 49ers win, they’ll need just one victory over their next two games and could wrap up the NFC by Week 17, allowing them to rest starters in Week 18 ahead of the playoffs.
