Week 1: SF +1 ?

[jgm4661]

This is one of a few lines that are curious where there seems to be opportunity. The line opened at SF -3.5. SF has had some retirements and releases ( Aldon Smith, Justin Smith, Anthony Davis) but nothing justifying a 4.5 pt swing. SF should even be better on O this yr adding WR Torrie Smith.

Would say SF has the edge on O, MIN has a slightly better D but SF has hfa. Colin Kapernik also is a better QB at this stage than Teddy Bridgewater who is improving but is still only in his 2nd yr.

Seems line was more accurate when originally posted. Line should be SF as some sort of fav.

I like MIN in that game. Defense will be strong this year. And offense will take a step forward. I think they are better than SF on both sides of the ball and will be in 2nd year of new system unlike SF who will be under 1st year rookie coach.

Kaepernick was garbage near end of season last year. Bridgewater finished strong. Personally, I think Bridgewater will be better than Kaepernick here. And MIN wins.

I don't know MIN had a slack schedule toward the end of last yr. I have a hard time trusting Norv Turner's O on the road from being a SD fan. Just see SF eking out a win at home here.

I take MIN if Peterson play in this game. But not first game of the year, don't think Water will play well. MIN only win if SF makes lots of mistakes. MIN has better kicker too, better Rbs. SF have better WRs and TEs. MIN D# is better but away from home so not much about that; but the kicker will be important factor in this game.

This is a weird game......its also the last game on the board for bettors to chase & get their money back if they're down for the week, expect the unexpected.

It could be this way. Let see how this turns out after SNF then we will see.

Vikes look to be worth a bet.
Buy it early. Shud be favored by 2.5 or 3 by gametime..
27-13 prediction

That's probably one factor. The public will lean on SF at home at night vs who??? the Vikings. The public will jump all over it (and the huge SF fan base) because the spread is basically a pick em. If it was still -3.5 SF, public would hesitate. Now books will get a bunch of SF money.

I agree with Bill if you like the Niners wait til game time it will be -2.5, if you like the vikes take it now the line only goes up

The Vikings are everyones darlings this off season to challenge for a PO spot and go over 7.5 wins.

I Vikes back doored a lot of covers last year, no quit in the team and zimmer is a damn fine coach

Instead of insulting people & saying things that don't make sense, try capping a game & posting it.

The grammar and spelling are bad enough that all I see is "waste" and "shitty" which pretty much sums up their contribution here.
