San Francisco at New England, 5:20 p.m., Ch. 5
The Patriots have won seven in a row since their Oct. 14 loss in Seattle, scoring more than 35 points in five of those seven games. The 49ers haven't given up 30 points in any game since Jim Harbaugh became coach last year. A San Francisco victory would mean the 49ers need to win only one of their final two games to be assured of a second consecutive NFC West title.
