Pick-Em's
Field Yates - Record (0-0)
THE PICK: 49ers (+6.5)
Yates' Take: "The Undefeated Beech story was cute, but the Niners front 7 forces Beech to drop back, make poor decisions, and Andy drags him out of the undefeated party."
O.J. Simpson - Record (0-0)
THE PICK: 49ers (+6.5)
Juice's Take: "It won’t even be remotely close. The Niners are a far superior team and the Broncos are pretenders. Not impressed by two wins early from them."
Keyshawn Johnson - Record (0-0)
THE PICK: 49ers (+6.5)
Keyshawn's Take: "Though the Broncos pose the best rushing attack, Wilson has 5 INT's in Denver's 2 victories. The Niners stout defense will stack the box and force Wilson into errant throws, while leaning on their 4th ranked rushing attack to neutralize Denver. 6.5 is just too much to spot SF... Niners Win."
Donovan McNabb - Record (0-0)
THE PICK: Denver (-6.5)
Donovan's Take: Both team gave up 100+ yards rushing to Seattle and Denver has the #1 rushing offense. San Fran is going to have to focus all the talent of their front 7 on containting Williams and Gordon. The secondary isn't good enough to stop the best deep ball passer in football combined with the jump ball high point catching antics of Sutton and Jeudy.
Tom Pelissero - Record (0-0)
THE PICK: 49ers (+6.5)
Tom's Take: Denver has turned the ball over too much for my liking, they have won two games, but escaped against a bad Houston team by the skin of their teeth. I like their offense a lot, and if Russell Wilson can limit interceptions, this is easily a playoff team. Against a really good 49ers pass rush, I see Wilson making a few mistakes.
