Denver at San Francisco

After the game they endured last week, Broncos players and coaches are probably very glad to be able to hop a plane out of the country. We were on the Raiders as a 5-unit pick last week and it panned out very nicely. But Denver isn't THAT bad. Every once in awhile, we see a team lay an egg where nothing goes right and last week was a prime example. San Francisco does appear to be THAT bad. I really thought that Mike Singletary would impose his will on this team, but rumors to the contrary persist and are founded by the Niners’ 1-6 record. They now start Troy Smith at QB and maybe he provides some sort of spark. The bigger problem is that the Niners’ defense just can't stop anyone. I expect Kyle Orton, who is having a very good year, to have a big game. Denver has played OVER in six of their last seven games thanks in large part to a very pourous defense that is allowing 28.4 points per game. The Broncos are now 33-16-3 to the OVER after a loss including 9-0 OVER after a 14+ point loss. I like this game to go OVER the total.
