49ers now favored by 3pts off of 7 earlier with Purdy likely out with turf toe - mild cases take 2-3 weeks to heal but moderate ones are 4-6 weeks apparently. I doubt the 49ers go .500 with Mac Jones the next 4 games - if they're quite lucky they'll be 3-2 but 2-3 or 1-4 seems more likely. Not even sure Jones is level with ol JimmyG. After watching the Saint/Cardinals highlights - the game becomes more winnable for Saints with Mac Jones starting. His mobility is cruddy, especially compared to Purdy's. He also throws picks - in 2023 in 11 games he had 12 interceptions as well 11 interception in 14 games in 2022. In 7 games last year with Jags, he threw 8 interceptions Given those statistics, it is highly likely he throws 1 or even 2 interceptions on Sunday. Meanwhile Rattler looked a little better than I recall last season the season opener vs Cardinals no interceptions or touchdowns, but the Saints offense wasn't too good vs Cardinals, and defense a little worse with poor tackling.
