San Francisco 49ers 2006 Review

2007 football betting Preview: Mike Nolan has turned things around in San Francisco. This team is expected to win now. Some experts even consider them a threat to win the NFC West this football betting season. The team picked up Darrell Jackson from Seattle to bolster the receiving corps and they picked up top free agent Nate Clements to bolster the secondary. They also got SS Michael Lewis as well for this upcoming NFL betting season.

The defense made major strides in the 2nd half of the 2006 football betting season and should be vastly improved this season. The question for San Francisco in the 2007 football betting season will be whether or not Alex Smith continues his improved play at quarterback. If so, this team is definitely a playoff contender.

The 2007 NFL betting season schedule includes home/away games with their NFC West Division rivals of Arizona, St. Louis and Seattle. The San Francisco 49ers also have games against the AFC North along with the NFC South. The football betting schedule is not easy for San Francisco, especially early in the season after the opener against Arizona where they face St. Louis, Pittsburgh, Seattle and Baltimore in consecutive weeks. The San Francisco 49ers are on Monday Night Football to open the football betting season as part of an ESPN doubleheader and at Seattle in November. They are also on the NFL Network and NBC late in the football betting season.

Offense: &nbspThe question surrounding the 49ers on this football betting season is still at quarterback. Although Alex Smith played better in the 2006 football betting season his numbers are still not good enough for this team to make the playoffs. Smith was better in the 2006 NFL betting season but throwing as many TD’s as interceptions has to change. The big reason San Francisco did well on offense was Frank Gore. He had 1,695 yards and eight touchdowns in addition to catching 61 passes for 485 receiving yards and a score. The receiving corps is upgraded with Darrell Jackson who had 956 yards and 10 touchdowns for Seattle. Ashley Lelie could also help this new football betting season.

Defense: The defense is going to be vastly improved in the 2007 football betting season. They picked up two of the better free agents on the market. CB Nate Clements signed a huge deal in the off-season and is a top NFL cornerback. Walt Harris is already excellent so the secondary is going to be very good. This 2007 football betting season the 49ers also stole Michael Lewis from Philadelphia and he is a former Pro Bowler. The defensive line does need some upgrading but overall the 2007 defense is going to be good for San Francisco this football betting NFL season.

Forecast for the 2007 NFL betting season: There is no doubt that the San Francisco 49ers are on the right track. Mike Nolan is an excellent head coach and has this team poised to make the playoffs. If Alex Smith can start to play like a #1 pick then San Francisco will be tough.
