Free Betting Pick: San Francisco 49ers +2
The San Francisco 49ers have a very interesting situation in their QB room as they have 3 capable starters, and while Jimmy Garoppolo is the clear starter, Mullens and Beathard are more than capable of running the offense. The Broncos have been very inconsistent on offense through their first 2 preseason games, and the 49ers looked very good on the defensive side of the ball in the first game. I expect the 49ers backup QBs to pick apart the Broncos defense as they have some solid rookie weapons in Hurd and Samuel. Final Score Prediction, San Francisco 49ers win and cover ATS 24-14.
