Week 4 of the NFL season delivers a cross-conference clash with playoff implications as the undefeated San Francisco 49ers welcome the Jacksonville Jaguars to Levi’s Stadium. This matchup pits Kyle Shanahan’s high-powered offense—now navigating a gauntlet of injuries—against a Jaguars squad that’s found its groove defensively and on the ground. The 49ers (3-0) have scraped out gritty wins, including a 16-15 thriller over the Cardinals in Week 3 where Mac Jones stepped up in place of the sidelined Brock Purdy, while the Jaguars (2-1) notched a crucial 17-10 divisional victory over the Texans behind three takeaways and a dominant run game averaging 141.7 yards per contest. With San Francisco leading the all-time series 5-2, this could be the game where Jacksonville’s opportunistic defense (league-leading nine takeaways) forces the Niners’ first stumble.

Why You Can’t Miss This Game
San Francisco’s unbeaten streak hangs by a thread amid injuries: Nick Bosa (ACL, out for season), George Kittle, Brandon Aiyuk, and Jauan Jennings sidelined, plus Brock Purdy’s status uncertain (turf toe/AC joint). Christian McCaffrey’s versatility (25 receptions, 389 scrimmage yards) keeps the offense humming, but Jacksonville’s D—tops in takeaways—could capitalize. Trevor Lawrence faces a familiar foe in his college rival Mac Jones (if Purdy sits), while the Jags’ ground attack (5.1 ypc) tests the Niners’ stout run D (3.7 ypc allowed). Odds favor the home team by 3 points (via BetMGM), but the Jags’ road warrior vibe could flip it.
