2019 San Francisco 49ers Betting Preview

The San Francisco 49ers came into the 2018 season with a lot of optimism, but an injury to quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo quickly derailed things. The 49ers have been in a long and slow rebuild, but it looks as if they are starting to turn the corner a little bit. San Francisco has a lot of things to fix if they want to be a playoff contender, but this team doesn’t feel like it is too far away from being a playoff contender.

San Francisco finished the 2018 regular season with a record of 4-12, and they weren’t very competitive in a lot of their losses. The 49ers also finished the season by going just 1-4 against the spread in their last five games. San Francisco dealt with a ton of injuries a season ago, and a healthy roster could make a huge jump this season.

Key Moves in Offseason: Re-signing kicker Robbie Gould to a four-year, $19 million contract extension was one of the biggest moves the 49ers made in the offseason. Left tackle Joe Staley also agreed to a contract extension and should be a stabilizing force on the offensive line.

Key Players

Jimmy Garoppolo: Even though Jimmy Garoppolo has played just a handful of games in a Niners uniform, he is the most important player on this roster. Garoppolo is 6-2 as a starter for the 49ers and has thrown 12 touchdowns to eight interceptions in San Francisco. The 49ers ranked 15th in the NFL in passing a season ago but should be much better this season.

Matt Breida: Breida came out of nowhere to take over the starting job in the backfield for the 49ers and looks to be set for a big season. Breida ran for 814 yards on 153 carries a season ago and should get the ball a ton in this offense.

Nick Bosa, Deebo Samuel, Jalen Hurd: The top three draft picks by the 49ers should all see the field early on in the 2019 season. Nick Bosa was selected with the second overall draft pick after a standout career at Ohio State. San Francisco went with a pair of receivers, Deebo Samuel and Jalen Hurd, in rounds two and three. Samuel and Hurd should give Garoppolo some talented targets to throw the ball to.

2019 Season Predictions/Bets to Make

Even though the 49ers should be much improved in 2019, they are still going to fall short of making the playoffs. San Francisco was dealt a pretty difficult schedule despite going just 4-12 a season ago, and they probably have at least three losses in their own division. The 49ers will finish the 2019 season with a 7-9 record, and so betting the UNDER 8 wins would be the smart play, even though it doesn’t have the best odds. Betting the 49ers to win the NFC West isn’t a smart bet either, as the Los Angeles Rams are one of the top teams in the NFL and should be division champs again.
