Note: All odds courtesy of FanDuel Sportsbook.<\/a><\/p>\nCollectively, our Mile High Report staff is predicting a narrow Broncos 24-23 victory on the road over the 49ers. Here\u2019s how we predicted the outcome individually:<\/p>\n
This is one of those games where I think the Broncos won\u2019t be able to catch fire late. A combination of the heat, poor starts, and inability to sustain drives will catch Denver sleeping. They will mount a late drive, but the defense is too tired to rally. It\u2019s okay, though. Losing on the road to an NFC team is the \u201cbest\u201d kind of loss and the Broncos will bounce-back to win the next two games anyway. 4-2 through the first six games was always my target. – Tim Lynch<\/p>\n
I think this is going to be a difficult matchup for the Broncos, but I have confidence they can get the job done on the road against the 49ers. The Broncos will have to play much better on offense. That includes starting off hot with a formidable rushing attack. On top of that, Vance Joseph\u2019s defense will have to find a way to slow down Brock Purdy, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, and the rest of the 49ers high-powered offense. Time of possession and the turnover battle will be huge. I think Denver finds a way to sneak out their third victory. – Chris Hart<\/p>\n
There are a lot reasons the Broncos shouldn\u2019t win – Niners have a lot of weapons, a good QB, Christian McCaffrey, Trent Williams AND home field advantage. But they don\u2019t have Bo \u201cI will lead fourth quarter comebacks like a f boss and you will like it\u201d Nix. So Broncos come from behind and steal another one. – Laurie Lattimore-Volkmann<\/p>\n
Broncos will trail 14-0 at halftime and 17-0 in the 3rd quarter but then they will score 27 unanswered all in the final 18 minutes of the game and win 27-17. – Scotty Payne<\/p>\n
The future of this Broncos team looks very bright. But this week is a very tall order. I think the 49ers having home field advantage really dials up the difficulty for the Broncos. They also have a coach in Kyle Shanahan who\u2019s schemes will turn red zone trips into touchdowns. – Sadaraine<\/p>\n
Nix and Denver have a resiliency that gives them an edge over every team. That belief and confidence that no matter what, the Broncos are in every game. The Denver offense will start faster on Sunday and it will make a concerted effort to run the ball. The defense will limit the big plays and keep Purdy and the San Francisco offense out of the end zone. Throw in a couple of sacks and turnovers for the defense, and the Broncos find a way yet again. – Ian St. Clair<\/p>\n
This week is a huge test for the Broncos. Can the offense play a complete game? Can the defense shut down a consistent offense? I\u2019m not sure both of those things can happen. It should be a good game, and I think Denver passes the test. What they won\u2019t do is win. – Adam Malnati<\/p>\n
