Keys to Victory
Stopping Peyton Manning may be the easiest thing ever said but not done. It’s simple to point out ways to stop him but only the Seattle Seahawks have gotten to him over the last year and they only got him once. The San Francisco 49ers need to find a way to lock down on Manning, put pressure on him and start forcing passes.
Manning doesn’t force things unless he has to but even then it’s hit and miss as to whether or not his groove will be strong enough to help him get a win. Denver needs to rely on more than just Manning to win though, as Colin Kaepernick is looking to penetrate a stout defense this year to show that he can. Denver better try and not be that team.
Betting Odds
Point Spread: EVEN
Moneyline: 49ers -115, Broncos -105
O/U: 50
Prediction
Peyton Manning is on a roll and that likely won’t stop on national television against a 49ers defense that is vulnerable. They almost let the st. Louis rams — led by Austin Davis — back into their Monday Night contest. The Niners wont roll over, but Manning has a way of picking apart defenses and San Francisco had better not look as hapless as they have in the past this season.
Final Score: Broncos 41, 49ers 28
