49ers Are the Best Super Bowl Dark Horse Bet You'll Find
As we approach the final three weeks of the NFL regular season, all of the obvious Super Bowl contenders have lost all betting value from a futures standpoint. Now is the time to find a good dark horse that you can back ahead in the postseason.
And you won't find one that has better value than the San Francisco 49ers.
WynnBET is currently offering +3000 (bet $100 to profit $3,000) odds on the 49ers to win the Super Bowl, and I think they're easily the team offering the best bang for your buck.
San Francisco is currently holding on to the No. 6 seed in the NFC, and they still have a cupcake game against the Texans left on the schedule. They'll be in the playoffs, and I can guarantee you that their odds won't be at +3000 at the beginning of the postseason.
49ers Offense Among Best in NFL
You may not think the 49ers have a legitimate shot at the Super Bowl, but I'd argue that they're better than you may think.
Heading into Week 16, they rank second in the entire NFL in yards per play. That's right, they are the second best offense in the entire league when it comes to moving the ball down the field. They're also first in red zone offense and second in yards per pass attempt.
People like to give Jimmy Garoppolo a hard time, but the 30-year old is having a very solid season. He's thrown for 18 touchdowns and only eight interceptions, and he leads the entire NFL in yards per completion, average 12.1 yards every time he completes a pass. Those are impressive numbers.
San Francisco likely won't host any playoff games, but if you want to bet on a team with long shot odds to win it all, look no further than the 49ers at +3000. Invest in them now, before it's too late.
