Denver Broncos vs. San Francisco 49ers Prediction
I’m on the Broncos and the points in this one. I get the allure of backing the 49ers, but they’re banged up like nobody’s business, and this is a Broncos team that lokoed really solid offensively once they woke up in the second half against the Rams. I think the Broncos come out with a bigger sense of urgency here, and I think the Broncos at least cover if not win outright. Give me the Broncos.
