49ers vs. Broncos Prediction, Odds, Spread and Over/Under for NFL Week 3

What a wild ride to 1-1 for the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos. Russell Wilson lost to his former team and Jimmy Garoppolo is back starting in San Fran. 

Trey Lance suffered a season ending ankle injury at the start of Week 2, and now Garoppolo is back under center for Kyle Shanahan. San Francisco's Super Bowl odds improved with the injury. 

The Broncos on the other side continued to look disjointed and mismanaged under Nathaniel Hackett in Week 2. 

Do the Niners roll with Jimmy G back or has Denver worked out the kinks?

49ers vs. Broncos Prediction and Pick

Nathaniel Hackett what are you doing?

He has been a horrendously awful hire, at least through two weeks. He botched the field goal decision at the end of their Week 1 loss in Seattle, but then it got so much worse in Denver.

The Broncos offense was so bad in the red zone that their own fans booed Russell Wilson after Seattle’s fans did a week ago. They are 0-6 in converting red zone trips into touchdowns this season.

Hackett had to waste a crucial timeout late in the game because he didn’t have a punt returner on the field. He also waited too long to send out the field goal unit in the fourth quarter which resulted in a delay of game penalty and he had to punt. 

That doesn’t even come close to encapsulating the incompetence of Nathaniel Hackett and his Denver Broncos. This team is a dumpster fire right now, they are just a little bit too talented to lose a game to Houston. They can absolutely lose one to a 49ers team that went to the NFC Championship game last season especially with Jimmy G back. 

The Niners will get back to their identity with Garoppolo, they will run the ball well and play-action pass even better. The offense will run on time and be better than it would with Lance. It is devastating that Lance got hurt and it will certainly stunt his growth. He may wind up never having much of a career because of it, but as hard as it is to say, San Francisco just got better. 

The Broncos could be without Jerry Jeudy and Patrick Surtain who both got injured on Sunday, but regardless I cannot trust Hackett right now. This is a pick’em right now and I say HAMMER the Niners. 

Pick: 49ers -110
