Premium Pick

San Francisco loaded up on defensive linemen this offseason. The 49ers have a D-line that boasts five former first-round picks after they traded for Dee Ford and used the No. 2 overall pick on end Nick Bosa. They've allowed 24 total points the first two NFL Preseason contests. The defense is way ahead of the offense, as QB Jimmy Garoppolo was terrible last week and the backups are unimpressive in C.J. Beathard, Nick Mullens, and Wilton Speight. This is a high NFL Preseason total because of the speed of the Chiefs, but they showed little in a 17-7 loss at Pittsburgh last week. QB Patrick Mahomes won't play the whole way and the backups are Chad Henne, Chase Litton and Kyle Shurmur. The real story for Kansas City is a revamped defense under new coordinator Steve Spagnuolo, holding the Bengals to 21 yards rushing on 12 carries, and keeping Pittsburgh's offense in check. In Week 3 last preseason they scored 20 points (10 through three quarters) and Andy Reid said this week he's going to approach the game like he usually does in Week 3. Play the UNDER.
