In simply 2 weeks, the San Francisco 49ers haveactually gone from Super Bowl favorites to 2nd location in their own department.
With Sunday’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, the Niners are losers of 3 straight and go into their Week 9 bye half a videogame behind the Seattle Seahawks in the NFC West.
More worrying for Niners wagerers than the group’s present standing, though, is the instructions things appear to be trending. Against Cincinnati, the offense was held to simply 17 points for a 3rd straight videogame, and Brock Purdy continued to turn the ball over in a method he didn’t throughout an amazing stretch of videogames to start his profession.
Purdy dedicated 3 turnovers, consistingof his 4th and 5th interceptions of the season — all 5 in the last 3 videogames — and the Niners lost by their biggest deficit in videogames began by Purdy.
If one loss to the Cleveland Browns with a backup quarterback was a fluke, and a 2nd to the Minnesota Vikings without their finest offensive weapon was a factor to appearance closer, a 3rd loss must lastly be a factor for issue. The Bengals are great, however something is off with the 49ers, and if they puton’t get to the bottom of what’s ailing them, they’ll be playing for a Wild Card area.
After opening the season with -165 chances at BetMGM to win the West and enhancing those to -800 last week, they’re back down to -300 favorites with the sixth-toughest staying schedule in the NFL. Now may be a great time to toss some cash on the Seahawks (+250).

As of the time I’m composing this, Offensive Rookie of the Year chances at BetMGM sanctuary’t been upgraded, however I anticipate things will appearance really various going into Week 9 than they did going into Week 8. C.J. Stroud, who was a -190 preferred gettingin the week, will mostlikely stay the preferred, however the field behind him will mostlikely appearance a little various
Pacua Nacua, who had the second-best chances, had another pedestrian week, which is endingupbeing his brand-new typical giventhat the return of Cooper Kupp — and the decrease of the Los Angeles Rams’ offense. Jordan Addison, who was 3rd, had another actually strong videogame however lost his quarterback for the season after Kirk Cousin supposedly tore his Achilles. The 4th preferred, Bijan Robinson, continues to offer with a doubtful work and bad quarterback play that both limitation his upside.
Meanwhile, Bryce Young, who appeared to be out of the discussion, exceeded Stroud in their head-to-head match Sunday, which needto assistance raise his name from 80-1 chances going into Week 8. And since of all the concerns surrounding the other favorites, Young can’t be entirely ruled out, nor can Will Levis, who tossed 4 goals in his launching.
If I had to choice today, Stroud would still be my choose, however the other quarterbacks have gotin the chat.
