It is true that the San Francisco 49ers are complete and loaded. So they could select a kicker in the draft’s third round and not feel too bad about it. Still, there are questions about who will start under center for San Francisco. Last season, Brock Purdy played near-perfect football after being called upon in the middle of the campaign. But the team has already invested much capital in Trey Lance. Kyle Shanahan has some decisions to make. Regardless, the 49ers could be the best NFL odds bet in the NFC.

As has become tradition, the 49ers will have five prime-time games in 2023. But this is the first year teams can have multiple Thursday night offshore betting matchups. In turn, the Niners are one of the teams that will participate in that experiment. San Francisco has a Week 3 game against the New York Giants at home. And then a Thanksgiving night meeting at the Seattle Seahawks. Also, San Francisco will play twice on Monday. First is a visit to Minnesota in Week 7. Second is a home game on Christmas against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 16.
This schedule means a couple of tight turnarounds and extra mini-byes to accompany their Week 9 bye. Correlate that could be beneficial down the home stretch for a team expected to contend again for a Super Bowl appearance.

Signing Sam Darnold could be one of the smartest NFL betting odds decisions of the spring. Gamblers and fans are thrilled about Brock Purdy’s return from injury. While nobody has an idea how good Trey Lance is. Considering the Niners’ recent history at quarterback, it shouldn’t be shocking to see Darnold play a big role in 2023. If he does, he’ll be surrounded by top-tier talent that’s reached consecutive NFC Championship Games.
