The 49ers will play in their new stadium for the first time today as they welcome in the reigning AFC Champs. The big key for us in this one is that these teams meet in the regular season. Both have Super Bowl aspirations, so the coaches aren’t going to show much. The play calling will be very “vanilla,” and we should expect a lot of sloppy football with the reserves.
The Niners usually play well in the preseason under Harbaugh, but that wasn’t the case last week as they were dominated by Baltimore. The O-line was destroyed, exposing an area that could be a big weakness if they don’t get things fixed. Quite Frankly, San Fran just isn’t a health ball club right now. This line seems to be moving up based on what Harbaugh has done in the preseason in the past, but in no way does that translate into this game. I wouldn’t touch this side even at -3.5, so at 4 or higher at some shops it’s completely out of the question.
The Broncos come in having played Peyton Manning and Brock Osweiler last week. That means we’re likely to see a lot of Bryn Renner and Zac Dysert. These are two guys fighting for the 3rd string position, deserving of being in the NFL but in no way, shape, or form can we rely on them. That takes the Broncos “side” out of our hands.
With not much being shown on offense and an ugly ballgame inevitable, we’ll look to play this one UNDER the total.
