San Francisco is the pick at home, though Miami’s passing ability makes a runaway less certain. The 49ers opened the 2026 regular season with a 27-7 win, while Miami lost 27-13 in its opener. The larger baseline also favors San Francisco: last season it went 12-5 while scoring 25.7 points per game and allowing 21.8. Miami went 7-10, scored 20.4 points per game and allowed 24.9. Levi’s Stadium provides a modest home-field edge, and San Francisco’s overall offensive and defensive profile has been more consistent across the available regular-season evidence. Miami can remain competitive if its offense improves from the opener, but the 49ers have the stronger combination of current form, recent history and venue advantage.
