Prediction
This is a tale of two teams going in opposite directions. Denver was favored by nearly a touchdown at one point. Now the odds have gone down slightly. It is not much, but we know what can happen in any given Sunday.
Honestly, as long as the defense plays well and Phillip Lindsay has a solid game, it should be a win for the Denver Broncos. With Emmanuel Sanders gone, the team will be relying on a heavy dose of the rookies Courtand Sutton and DaeSean Hamilton.
Matt LaCosse should have some passes come his way against the 49ers. I would certainly like to see him more involved. On defense, it will get a little tricky. Bradley Roby will be depended upon to make some big time plays. Hopefully Isaac Yiadom and Brendan Langley can get something going as well.
The Broncos will likely use a heavy rush attack on the 49ers. I foresee Phillip Lindsay having another big game in the bay area. The important part is that the Broncos do not fall into the trap game. But I do believe they will get it done.
