49ers Betting Prediction
(7-9, 7-8-1 AGAINST THE SPREAD): +4500 to win Super Bowl XLIV
Bet on the San Francisco 49ers this season at our number 1 rated sportsbook TotalBets.com
San Francisco is a dark horse in the NFC West thanks to its defense. If the offense can keep pace and an improved O-line doesn't give up 55 sacks again, the 49ers have a shot at upsetting the Cardinals and surprising NFL betting fans.
49ers Strength:
With a former warhorse like Mike Singletary at the helm, it's no surprise the Niners’ defense is beginning to show its teeth. After firing Mike Nolan midway through 2008, San Francisco went from allowing almost 29 points to just under 19 points per game.
The 49ers have a promising roster of young stoppers, most notably LB Patrick Willis. He had 141 tackles last year and should improve on his solo sack with some fuel from Singletary. Fellow linebackers Parys Haralson and Manny Lawson are beginning to blossom. The 3-4 has a steady front in Justin Smith, Isaac Sopoaga and nosetackle Aubrayo Franklin and boasts the bodies to back those spots up.
San Francisco gave RB Frank Gore a helping hand when they stole Alabama RB Glen Coffee in the third round. The Niners and new offensive coordinator Jimmy Raye are committing to the ground game this season, putting the ball in Gore's shaky hands the majority of the time. Outside of his fumbles, Gore is still an effective rusher who has strung together three straight 1,000-plus yard seasons. Coffee's power and downhill style will allow the featured back to get a breather.
49ers Weakness:
The Niners have said they are giving the ball to Shawn Hill to start the year but still hold a cloud over the quarterback's head with former No. 1 pick Alex Smith. Hill isn't going to wow defenses but is steady and has the winning percentage to prove it. However, QB controversies are never good for QB-WR relations and could put a hitch in their offensive giddy up this season. Especially with a talent like WR Michael Crabtree joining the team, San Francisco will want to settle on a QB sooner than later.
Against the pass, the 49ers will struggle. An influx on new players alongside old ones will keep San Francisco a step behind offenses this season. Veteran Walt Harris, who led the team with three picks in 2008, is another year older and CB Nate Clemens has the “overrated” tag hanging around his neck. The Niners allowed over 220 yards through the air and collected just 12 interceptions last season.

Tampa Bay picked up its third win of the year in a 24-17 win on Monday Night Football over the Indianapolis Colts last week, but failed to cover the 10 points. It’s a common theme for this team

Dallas wants to avoid an 0-2 start at all costs, as it went down the same path last year and it turned into a 1-7 record at the midway point in 2010. The Cowboys had every opportunity to win
Florida Atlantic travels to The Swamp in Gainesville and will begin the final season under head coach Howard Schnellenberger, who began the program 13 years ago, taking it from obscurity into the major college football ranks
LSU is a dominating 20-4 all-time against current members of the Pac-12 Conference, which includes a 3-0 mark under Miles. Playing inside of a dome will likely factor little in the Tigers ability to come out with a victory, entering with a 22-7 all-time mark when indoors. LSU has won
Bettors are enjoying a unique opportunity to start playing around with the NFL Week 1 lines this year, even with many roster spots in doubt due to free agency starting this week. Professional bettors will continue moving these numbers around until the season kicks off with a premiere matchup
The ongoing negotiations between the NFL owners and the Players Association to arrive at a new CBA (collective bargaining agreement) continue to point towards a resolution that could potentially end a four-month owner imposed lockout of the players and reopen the league for business as early as the end of this week
The 2011 Pro Bowl returns to Hawaii after being held in Miami, Florida last year. The annual contest of the AFC's and NFC's best will take place Sunday, Jan. 30, 2011, at 7 p.m. ET. This is only the second time in history that the Pro Bowl will be held the week
It is a shame that St Louis lost that game last week against Kansas City, and now must scramble to make the playoffs. Even though they are only 6-8
We are still 14 games over .500 for the year, a lot better than Chris Berman who I think said that he went 4-20 the last 2 months. San Francisco has been playing hot and cold all year
Man, what a mess this division is. It’s getting to the point that you can’t even watch these games from the NFC West. Unfortunately,
Tampa Bay has played great football all year long while San Francisco has been playing better the last few weeks. Both of these teams have an outside shot at winning their divisions
Funny how sometimes you see things differently after 8-9 weeks into the season. Before the season many people would have thought the Rams
It’s about time that San Francisco finally got a win; they are too good not to. The Panthers are not that good however. The 49ers are going to win this game
San Francisco has let us down all year, and it might be time to jump off their bandwagon. We still feel that they have a shot to win the pathetic NFC West. We told
I heard recently that Mike Singletary is on the hot seat, ridiculous . Sure the team is 0-4, but my
Another great week. We went 7-3 and hit on our big teaser bet. That makes it year to date, 27-14-1 and 3-1 on Teaser betting. We will start the week
This is a trap game for the Falcons. They are coming off of a huge win in New Orleans last week.San Francisco
After a surprising Week 3 performance in which Wisconsin barely squeaked out a 20-19 win over Arizona State and needed a blocked extra point to do it, the Badgers get
New Orleans looked pretty sharp and motivated last week. San Francisco looks neither sharp nor motivated. This is the game of the week to bet on
With emotions running high on both sides of the ball, one team (Florida) will benefit greatly. The other will suffer an embarrassing loss on New Year’s Day. Cincinnati is playing without former head coach Brian Kelly, who led the Bearcats to significant success in recent years
Jacksonville is slowly but surely getting back in the play off picture. They come into this game at 6-4 and have as good a chance as anyone to get a wild card birth. The 49ers have been playing better as of late and covered by a half point
Virginia coach Al Groh has beaten the Cavaliers’ arch rival Hokies just one time in his nine years at UVA. He and the Cavaliers look to make that number two and possibly avoid his firing this Saturday in Charlottesville. The Hokies are in a down year at 8-3 and will not contend for the ACC Championship,
Not quite the same allure as the Red River Rivalry between Texas and Oklahoma, but this week’s Bedlam Rivalry game is Oklahoma State’s Super Bowl. The Cowboys have had a tremendous season so far and Oklahoma is sitting at 6-5, ensured of its worst season since 1999
Boise State doesn’t play too many home games where they are only 14 point favorites, but that is exactly what they are this week when Nevada comes to play on the blue turf. Boise State needs a win this week, and badly. Though the Broncos are 11-0, their only hope for a BCS appearance
Despite an 11-0 record up to this point, Alabama still realistically needs to win its next two games to get into the National Championship. With Florida a perfect 11-0 as well, the Crimson Tide will need to beat Auburn this week and Florida in the SEC Championship
At first glance you might think that it was quite a shocker that Oakland beat Cincinnati last week, but at we said the Bengals were coming off their biggest win in years and might be flat. We also felt that Jamarcus Russell was hindering the Raider offense and the switch to anybody but he was the correct move
San Francisco won an ugly game at home last week vs. Chicago. We won on Green Bay +3 against the Cowboys, and also hit on a halftime bet of Green bay +3. It looks like the Packers have corrected what was wrong with them
Both of these teams have problems. Miami really can’t play offense at the N.F.L. level. They look like a college or high school team at times, with their “Wildcat†offense and their quarterback who throws the ball like a shot put. Another quarterback, who has a funky delivery is Phillip Rivers
The next 2 games that we are picking, we are going a little bit out on a limb. There are 2 home dogs that both played very well last week as huge underdogs. Both teams had opportunities to win outright but didn’t.
The Vikings are overrated; the 49ers are underrated. We really don’t know why everybody loves the Vikings this year. I guess Brett Favre, Adrian Peterson, and a good defense is making the experts think they have a shot to go to the Super Bowl
The Broncos take on a much different look this season after having to replace long time head coach Mike Shanahan (retirement), one of the game’s most successful coaches
Stop thinking about rain by itself as a bad weather indicator. Look at the mix of wind, turf quality, and precipitation. It's the mix that matters, not one third of the mix.
Beating NFL 1st Quarter Lines
Bettors no longer have to look at mere sides and/or game totals to strike it rich as mostly all the online sports books (and many Las Vegas) outlets provide first and second half wagering lines along with quarter by quarter prices too on football betting.
