Denver Broncos become just 3.5-point favorites at 49ers
The Denver Broncos were previously 5.5-point favorites at the San Francisco 49ers. That has since changed probably based on recent events.
After week thirteen, the Denver Broncos opened as 5.5-point favourites against the San Francisco 49ers, according to OddsShark.com
Likely due to the injury bug of the Broncos, that has changed to just 3.5-points.
The Broncos lost cornerback Chris Harris Jr to a broken leg. He hopes to be back for the playoffs, if the team gets to the postseason.
Denver also lost wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders. That leaves rookie Courtland Sutton as the team’s top wideout. It’s his time to shine. It is a great opportunity for him to show what he can do the rest of the way as the number one guy for Case Keenum.
OddsShark’s Edge Finder predicts the Denver Broncos to have more rushing yards than the 49ers (132.50 – 129.17), total score (23.00 – 21.25), and a higher yards-per-play (5.95 – 5.68).
San Francisco is favored in passing yards (234.08 – 233.17), time on field (30:28 – 28:18), and number of plays (63.92 – 61.50).
Facing a team that has won just two of 12 games this season, it is no wonder the Broncos are favorites. Denver has been up and down all season. You just never know what you’re going to get out of the team on game days.

Denver previously beat the Arizona Cardinals by a score of 45-10. The Cardinals are also not a very good team. Could they blow everybody away with the way they play this late into the season and with a lot on the line?
If they get away from committing bad penalties and turnovers, they will probably walk out of San Francisco with a victory.
The Broncos likely will need to win every one of their remaining games in order to make the playoffs. It is a very tall order, for most teams really.
They face an uphill battle with the losses of two key players on both sides of the ball. It’s time for the young guys to step up.
