1. Jackson accounts for 350 yards, 4 TDs

As great as the San Francisco 49ers defense has been this season, there is no answer for Lamar Jackson right now. The Baltimore Ravens quarterback is making the game of football being played at the highest level of competition look like one of the easiest things in the world. He’s playing Madden on Rookie level while the rest of the league is stuck on All-Pro.

In Jackson’s last three games, he’s not had a quarterback rating lower than 139 (including a perfect 158.3 rating against the Bengals) while throwing for 12 touchdowns and no interceptions. For good measure, he’s also added at least 65 yards rushing in each of his last three games and has found the end zone once more with his legs over that stretch as well.

Even if the 49ers defensive front is able to generate some pressure, which is not a given with how well the Baltimore offensive line has performed this season, Jackson has the ability to simply outrun them and make plays with his legs. And the confidence that he’s seeing the field and throwing the ball with right now is near-unmatched throughout the league.

Jackson in his current form is the mathematical equation that everyone is trying to solve. However, San Francisco won’t have the answers. Once again showcasing his elite dual-threat ability, the Ravens superstar and MVP-frontrunner will demolish a great defense with at least 350 total yards and four touchdowns.
