Broncos Host 49ers in Week 3 Sunday Night Football Matchup

Last summer the NFL future market drew action on the 49ers and Broncos.  Denver made a huge splash with the acquisition of quarterback Russell Wilson.  And new head coach Nathaniel Hackett.  But a week one flop at the Seattle Seahawks showed the balance between winning and losing.  The 49ers were stunned in their opening day loss at the Chicago Bears.  That game cast doubts upon San Francisco and its new starting quarterback Trey Lance.  Now Lance is lost for the season after a terrible injury.  Jimmy Garoppolo is back in the betting on NFL saddle as San Francisco QB.

On this occasion, best sportsbook online action figures to split evenly.  The betting public is quite familiar with Jimmy Garoppolo as the 49ers quarterback.  At the same time, Russell Wilson is the marquee man of the Broncos.  Denver has always brought the betting perception of having a strong home field advantage.  But the Broncos have been sluggish out of the gate.

Jimmy G Gets His Old Job Back

Last Sunday, the 49ers won 27-7 against the Seahawks as 8.5-point home favorites.  The game went under the Betting on football total of 40.  San Francisco has a record of 1-1 straight up, 1-1 against the spread, and 0-2 over/under the total.  The 49ers rank 15^th for total offense, 29^th for passing, 4^th for rushing, and 20^th for scoring.  Defensively they rank 1^st overall, 1^st against the pass, 2^nd against the rush, and 3^rd for points allowed.

Following the loss of starting quarterback Trey Lance to a season-ending injury, Jimmy Garoppolo was back as 49ers quarterback.  Garoppolo threw a touchdown pass on his first full drive after replacing Lance.  And then he ran for another score to help the 49ers beat the Seahawks.

Lance broke his right ankle on the second drive of the game.  Following the game coach Kyle Shanahan said that Lance would need surgery and will miss the rest of the season.  That set the stage for Garoppolo to come in and reclaim the job he held for most of the past four seasons.  Correlate the surprising decision to keep Garoppolo on a reduced contract.  It has paid nearly immediate dividends for the Niners.

Jimmy Garoppolo Performance

In sum, Jimmy G completed his first five passes in his first game since last season’s NFC title game.  Including a 38-yard touchdown pass to Ross Dwelley that put San Francisco up 13-0.

Last Sunday, the Broncos won 16-9 against the Texans as 10.5-point home favorites.  The game went under the NFL bets total of 45.  Denver has a record of 1-1 straight up, 0-2 against the spread, and 0-2 over/under the total.  Denver ranks 7^th for total offense, 8^th for passing, 10^th for rushing, and 24^th for scoring.  Defensively they rank 3rd overall, 5th against the pass, 6th against the rush, and 4th for points allowed.

Russell Wilson overcame a slow start and a shower of boos in his Denver debut Sunday.  Subsequently he led the bumbling Broncos past the Texans.  It marked the first career win for rookie coach Nathaniel Hackett.

Of major concern was that most of the game was just as unsightly as Wilson’s return to Seattle six days earlier.  Wilson dealt with a hostile crowd, problematic play calls, red zone quicks, and numerous stupid penalties.  In sum, Denver was flagged 13 times for 100 yards.  But the Broncos pulled it out on defense, holding Houston to a trio of field goals by Ka’imi Fairbairn.

Following completions on just six of his first 20 throws, Wilson went 4-for-4 on the Broncos’ go-ahead scoring drive.  Accordingly, the drive ended with a 35-yard strike to a wide-open Courtland Sutton.  And then a 22-yard payoff to tight end Eric Saubert that put Denver ahead 13-9 early in the fourth quarter.
