2022 SF 1-1-0
2022 DEN 0-2-0
Not a lot to go off of when it comes to these two teams as they met only 4 times in the past 17 years. Over those four games the 49ers have covered the spread three of those four games (twice as an underdog), while Denver has only covered once (as a favorite). This will be the fifth time they meet (twice in SF and Twice in DEN) with the 49ers covering only once (2006) on the road. Denver’s lone cover was in 2014 at home (-6.5) Of the four matchups the overage spread has been around 5-5.5 points, with the highest being 10 (San Francisco covered in 2014) and the lowest being 2 (San Francisco covered in 2010)

Money Line (ML): 49ers (-120) @ Broncos (+105)
2022 SF 1-1-0 (0-1-0 Away; 1-0-0 Home)
2022 DEN 1-1-0 (0-1-0 Away; 1-0-0 Home)
Checking out the Money Line of the past four matchups the 49ers have been a underdog three of the last four games with there lone game as a favorite in 2010 (Won 24-16). The other two games San Fran has won were as underdogs (in 2006 & 2018). The home team has won three of the last four matchups with Denver winning just once at home (2014) along with a OT loss in 2006.

Over 44.5 (-110) / Under 44.5 (-110)
2022 SF 0-2-0 IN OVERS
2022 DEN 0-2-0 IN OVERS
On to the totals. The total has been split with the O/U going 2-2 over the last four games, and alternating Under / Over / Under / Over during that span. The highest total awas in 2014 when it was 48 (Over) with the lowest being 38 (also over) in 2006. What is the most interesting of both the overs have hit in Denver with the Unders both in San Fran. The average number over the last four games is around 43-43.5 slightly below this week’s number of 44.5 by a point.

Over 44.5 (-110) / Under 44.5 (-110)
There unfortunately are no plays this week, Russ is still getting used to Denver, and Jimmy G was thrown to the fire last week when Tray Lance was unfortunately injured for the season. There is too much inconsistency of both teams this year so early in the year to have a play on this game. I hope the trends listed above help you pick a side but next we will be back for Brady and Maholmes in Week 4.
