49ers quarterback Brock Purdy's 39-yard piss missile to receiver Demarcus Robinson in the first half of Thursday night's game in Australia became the first clear indication that San Francisco could indeed topple the 2026 edition of the Dream Team.
San Francisco's 27-7 victory over the favorites to win Super Bowl LXI has prompted a shift in the Super Bowl betting profiles of both teams.
The Rams remain the favorites, with their odds slightly sinking from +500 to +600. The 49ers have experienced an uptick. Their pregame odds of +1900 have moved to +1400.
The odds mean little. They only reflect the perception of those who are inclined to put skin in the game.
It's still interesting to see how the perceptions have become revised in the aftermath of one game. For the Rams, it's regarded as an aberration. For the 49ers, it's an indication that the overlooked team in the NFC West will have something to say about the ultimate outcome of the season, and perhaps then some.
