The Niners present many challenges, but I’m not exactly predicting a shootout here and they’re down some offensive players as well. It’s easy to envision a scenario where the Broncos continue to struggle on offense against a stout Niners defense, but I think they’re close to putting it together.

I just don’t see Denver putting it together in one week, and given the quality of the opponent along with the injuries piling up for the Broncos, it’s tough to see the home team coming out on top. The Niners are down two key starters in Trey Lance and Elijah Mitchell, but Jimmy G and Jeff Wilson are capable fill-ins. I believe the issues plaguing the Broncos are fixable, but this is a good 49ers football team who isn’t fighting the same issues, as evidenced by the 27-7 victory over the Seahawks. Not sure about the offense, the special teams or the coach. Until Hackett can show something I don’t see the Broncos being able to beat good teams. It feels like this will be one of the very few times that Russell Wilson actually loses to the Niners. Their depleted defense won’t be able to shut down the dynamic offense of San Francisco, that is once again headed by Jimmy Garoppolo. The Broncos offense finally puts up 20+ points in a game, but it won’t be enough. Week 3: 49ers at Broncos - Everything we know 49ers 27, Broncos 24 So far, we’ve only seem them derp around for two games and make costly mistakes. I’ll believe the Broncos offense can keep up with team like this when I see it. It is going to work, and it is going to open up big plays down the field off play action. We’ve looked decent in the past couple of weeks, but the 9ers run game is on a different level. I expect the main problem with this game for the Broncos to be the run defense. Whatever flaws the Broncos have on either side of the ball are going to be exploited. The Broncos are facing their first real test of the season with the well-coached San Francisco 49ers coming to town.
But the Broncos defense pushes them over the top in the end as Caden Sterns (or perhaps Pat Surtain II if he returns from injury) takes advantage of a miscommunication between Garoppolo and his receivers to take a San Francisco pass all the way back in a pick-six. Both the Broncos and the 49ers offenses get right and start rolling in an unexpected shoot out. I honestly have no idea how this will play out between two teams suffering from fluky, streaky offenses. The offense has been moving the ball despite the lack of points production, so maybe this is the week they break through with multiple touchdowns instead. I saw a stat a few days ago showing that Russell Wilson has more wins against the Niners than any other team and is 4-1 in his last five games with 13 touchdowns to just a single interceptions.
Broncos 31, 49ers 20Įveryone seems to be predicting doom and gloom this week, which makes me want to go against the grain - even if I was part of that doom and gloom earlier in the week. Here is how we see things playing out individually. We’ll just have to wait and see about that. There were nine of us predicting scores and five of us picked the Broncos, so those who predicted losses seem to think it’ll be a road team blowout. I usually round the decimals, but rounding here would have had a tie! Not sure that’s ever happened. Now if we add then all up and take the average scores of each team, the 49ers and Broncos basically die but if you go down the decimal point then we have a 49ers win with a score of 24.3 to 23.8. We’re also all over the map with our score predictions. Nowhere is this extreme of opinion more evident in the fanbase than in our own Mile High Report staff. The first real big test is this Sunday night against the San Francisco 49ers. Is it me or is there melancholy in the air? Broncos Country is all over the map right now on the Denver Broncos and the extremes just show how we just don’t know where this team is heading in 2022.
