San Francisco's rating has cratered 2.477 points in a week to 0.955, and with Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, and Nicholas Bosa all out, that 4.5-point injury dock looks like the market may still be catching up. The underlying form is genuinely good — plus-0.285 EPA per play and a 9.25 point differential over the last five — but a -2.76 gap to the market says the public is still pricing this team on reputation from a 6.566 prior-season rating. That makes SF a sell: the number is inflated relative to what's actually on the field, and I'd fade them laying anything close to a typical spread until the bodies return.
