NFL Week 8 Picks on the Denver Broncos vs San Francisco 49ers Odds: London hosts their first game of the season as the Denver Broncos clash with the San Francisco 49ers at Wembley Stadium at 1 PM ET, in a game where both teams need to redeem themselves. The Broncos vs 49ers NFL Point Spread have the 49ers -1 at BODOG.com
The Denver Broncos had one of their worse losses last week when the Oakland Raiders beat them 59-14 at their own building. The Broncos allowed 508 total yards in that game, 328 of those came from Oakland´s running game. "I apologize to (owner) Pat (Bowlen) and the organization, all the fans and everyone else," coach Josh McDaniels said. "It was awful."
If the 49ers can run the ball effectively then the Broncos might have a lot of trouble, especially considering the Broncos rank 30th stopping the run. RB Frank Gore has averaged 81.9 rushing yards per game but I have a feeling he might do better this weekend.
If Gore can´t run the ball then San Francisco will need to throw it. QB Alex Smith separated his shoulder last week and won´t play in London this week. Coach Mike Singletary announced on the weekend 2006 Heisman Trophy winner Troy Smith will take his place this Sunday. "Troy Smith gives us a good opportunity to win this game," Singletary said. "I talked to David Carr about it. He understands." Considering that Troy´s playing style involves a lot of scrambling plays with his feet, that could hurt the Broncos even more.
Another thing to consider is that London is a rainy place and the teams should be concerned with the weather. "We've worked with some wet balls so we'll be ready," QB Kyle Orton said. "Wet fields are a chance for big plays on offense."
Consider Denver is 2-16 ATS off an Over win and San Francisco is 5-0 ATS off SU loss as favorite.
