San Francisco 49ers Odds to Win Super Bowl LIV

While it wasn’t pretty, the San Francisco 49ers got out of Tampa Bay with a win to allow for the NFC West to be the only division that didn’t absorb a loss in the opening week of the NFL betting season. The road trip continues for George Kittle and company in Week 2 when they invade Paul Brown Stadium for a date with Andy Dalton and the Cincinnati Bengals. The betting markets aren’t of the belief that Kyle Shanahan’s squad returns to the Bay undefeated evidenced by the recent betting on the game, but that won’t stop the Niners from going all out to make their doubters eat some crow.

San Francisco 49ers Week 2 Preview

San Fran was all the rage heading into last season with many envisioning Jimmy G and company giving the Los Angeles Rams a run for their money atop the division standings. Due to mass injuries, it didn’t come to pass. But now that the team is relatively healthy and off a solid win against the Buccaneers, the hype train is starting to once again leave the station. But is it warranted? A deep dive into last week’s stats demonstratively says no! As do the betting markets that’ve turned the 49ers into short 1-point underdogs for this week’s matchup after opening 1.5-point favorites with 61 percent of the handle surprisingly riding Zac Taylor’s Bengals. Was Cincy’s near miss in Seattle really that worthy of a line move like this?!

Total bettors have also gotten in on the action lowering the number to beat to 44.5 from the 45 opener with nearly 70 percent of the tickets written to date in support of a low scorer playing out. Both teams played to unders last week, and the Niners have seen the low side of the number cash in each of their last five road contests with an average of 51.2 points per game hitting the board. If you take last season’s marathon loss at Seattle out of the equation, the average points scored falls dramatically to 44.0 points per game. That said, the over had come in five of the previous six times the 49ers went off the betting board dogged on the road.

This will be the team’s first meeting since 2015 when San Francisco fell 24-14 as 7-point home underdogs to Dalton and company.

San Francisco 49ers Week 1 Recap

Much was made in the offseason about Robert Saleh’s defense being unable to force turnovers a season ago. They forced a grand total of seven in 2018 with only two coming by way of the interception. No better way to improve upon that output than in a matchup against Jameis Winston who seems to be addicted to giftwrapping giveaways to opposing defenses. In picking him off three times on Sunday, the 49ers have already eclipsed their total output from all of last season. The cherry on top was that two led directly to points after Robert Sherman and Ahkello Witherspoon each took one back to the house. The latter’s theft and score allowed for the 49ers to put the game on ice turning a one score game into the 31-17 final that saw San Francisco ultimately cash in as 1-point underdogs per the closing NFL odds.

As good as the 14-point victory likely felt, there were still some major issues about the Niners overall performance. For starters, the team committed 11 total penalties for 87 yards. Two of them came on touchdown strikes to George Kittle much to the chagrin of his fantasy and prop backers as well as a touchdown jaunt from Raheem Mostert. On top of that, the offense was more or less dreadful displaying an inability to pass or run the football. Jimmy Garoppolo only ended up throwing for 166 yards and a 1:1 TD/INT ratio against a Bucs defense that ranked out amongst the leagues worst a short season ago. The trio of Tevin Coleman, Matt Breida and Mostert combined for just 100 yards and 3.3 yards per carry. The lone bright spot in terms of the offense was the front wall only giving up one sack to Ndamukong Suh and company. Regardless of the hot sticky weather playing a role, the 49ers must shore up their penalty issues and be more efficient offensively if they’re to get by better teams down the road.

“We didn’t play our best ball today, but the guys played very hard," Shanahan said. "When you’ve got 21 points called back from penalties. We gave them a number of free first downs off penalties and just a lot of self-inflicted wounds that we weren’t proud of. The guys just still battled and to fight and come up with that win shows how hard the guys fought. Especially, in this heat and stuff. I know guys were struggling. Also, losing one of our linebackers early in the first quarter was tough to overcome. The guys kept fighting through. Pulled out a win. Very happy about that.”

Past San Francisco 49ers Seasons

The 49ers will always be remembered for its dynastic years in the 1980s and 1990s. During those 18 seasons the club reached the postseason 16 times, won 13 NFC West titles and all five of its Super Bowl appearances behind Hall of Fame quarterbacks Joe Montana and Steve Young. However, the early years of the franchise were not so glorious. The team was founded in 1946 as an original member of the All-American Football Conference and won that league’s final title before it merged with the NFL for the 1950 season.

Immediately following the AFL-NFL merger in 1970, the 49ers won three straight division titles, only to have their season ended by the Dallas Cowboys in the playoffs, twice in the NFC Championship Game. The club hired Bill Walsh in 1979 and two years later won the first of five Super Bowl titles. Not counting the strike-shortened 1982 season, the Niners won at least 10 games every year from 1981 to 1998, playing in 10 conference championship tilts during that time.

The team has made just five playoff appearances since then while experiencing some of the most turbulent times in franchise history. There was an ownership change in 1999 and the eventual firing of Steve Mariucci after a 10-6 record in 2002. That began a downward spiral for the club that was briefly ended once Jim Harbaugh took over in 2011. The team won 36 games in a three-year span, reaching the NFC Championship Game all three years. The Niners advanced to the Super Bowl following the 2012 season, only to suffer their first loss in six appearances.

Dismissing Harbaugh after an 8-8 season in 2014 sent the team into another rut. The Jim Tomsula and Chip Kelly experiments were epic failures and Shanahan has yet to unleash the magic that made him a hot commodity when the club hired him before the 2017 season. The Niners won just 10 games in Shanahan’s first two years at the helm.
