The 49ers vs. Steelers live stream is about to begin. And it pits an impressive defensive front and a prestigious franchise hoping to contend for a sixth Super Bowl victory this year against an impressive defensive front and a prestigious franchise hoping to contend for a seventh Super Bowl victory this year.

Don't expect a blowout in this NFL live stream. Also note that George Kittle (groin, queschonable) is expected to play today.

The San Francisco 49ers and Pittsburgh Steelers are not rivals per se, but these two teams are perennial contenders. So while neither is a favorite to win this year's championship, it would not be a big surprise if these two teams again go head-to-head in February.

Of course, title contention will not be unfamiliar territory for this 49ers team. They have reached the NFC Championship Game in three of the last four seasons, including last year against the Philadelphia Eagles. The roster is loaded with talent, and head coach Kyle Shanahan has managed to turn Brock Purdy, the last pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, into an up-and-coming star quarterback.

Unfortunately for Niners fans (like myself), championship contenders are no surprise, but injuries abound. Last year, they made it to the NFC Championship game against the Eagles, but were ultimately blown out due to a series of quarterback injuries to the point that Purdy had to leave the game with a non-functioning arm. Therefore, if injuries continue to plague the team again, San Francisco's season could be derailed sooner rather than later.

Pittsburgh, by comparison, is more up-and-comer than contender. They have a young quarterback in Kenny Pickett, but it remains to be seen if he will be enough to lead this Steelers team to glory. That's a big reason why Action Network currently has the 49ers as a 2-point road favorite against the Steelers.

But with head coach Mike Tomlin at the helm, this team can beat anyone - and often does. The Steelers have never had a losing season under Tomlin, no matter who has played quarterback. And with T.J. Watt leading this Steelers defense, this team could win the game if Pickett is passable as the starting quarterback. This game is going to be close no matter who wins.

According to DraftKings, the 49ers are a 2-point favorite on the road with an over/under of 41.5 points.
