San Francisco 49ers Betting
The NFL 2008 San Francisco 49ers are expected to come in last in the NFC West according to NFL Future odds by online bookmakers. Sportsbooks expect the 49ers to win 6 games. The perennially offensively challenged 49ers have imported passing guru Mike Martz as O-Coordinator. San Francisco 49ers were atrocious on offense in 2007 finishing last in 1st downs per game (13.6), yards per game (237.3) and last in total points (219). Sharp bettors will be looking closely at the preseason offense to see Martz and Nolan are able to ignite some offense. The Total betting line will have some betting value in the early season as you should watch how the public plays the totals on San Francisco. Martz has lost a lot of his offensive magic the last couple of years and we will see if the betting public still buys into the hype of "Air"-Martz.
San Francisco 49ers Key Additions
QB J.T. O'Sullivan
WR Bryant Johnson
WR Isaac Bruce
RB DeShaun Foster
DE Justin Smith
Martz/Nolan have brought in veteran WR Bryant Johnson and Isaac Bruce to help implement Martz's 4 WR set that was so popular in Detroit and St.Louis. The problem is who is going to throw them the ball. Alex Smith, J.T. O'Sullivan and Shuan Hill will fight it out throughout the season and Smith hates will have a field day in San Francisco. Smith has been an incredibly inaccurate passer for a first round draft pick with horrible QB passer rating of 40.8 and 50.9 the last two years.
NFL Betting Edge
Watch how effective the passing game is early in games. The running game will be solid throughout the year but the QB efficiency will affect those NFL Total lines.
