NFL Betting – 49ers In Deep Against Colts
San Francisco 49ers @ Indianapolis Colts
Football: United States, NFL
Sunday, 1st November 2009 - Kickoff 1pm ET
In San Francisco, the 49ers have been in the eye of the public since the Giants were eliminated from baseball postseason contention in September. If the 49ers keep up their play as they have over the last couple of weeks, they may be out of the playoff race very soon as well.
After starting the year 2-1 with the third loss being a miraculous one to the Minnesota Vikings, the 49ers have come crashing down to Earth.
The 49ers were blown out at home by the Atlanta Falcons in the week prior to their bye and then coming out of the bye, they were handled easily by the Houston Texans. Now they head back on the road to face the Indianapolis Colts, who could be the best team in the NFL. Online betting cappers should expect to see another 49ers loss.
The 49ers made a change at quarterback last week and they hope that the Alex Smith era – the second one – goes a little better this time around.
Smith came into the game after halftime and led the 49ers to three touchdowns and nearly brought them all the way back. But often times there is a difference as a quarterback coming into the game in the second half and facing a defense that has had a full week to prepare.
This week, the Colts will be ready for Smith and he should start to look closer like the No. 1 overall bust that we have become accustomed to seeing.
The main difference in this game is going to be the fact that the Colts can score points pretty much at will against any defense where as the 49ers simply cannot match up.
The 49ers will need to take control of this game on the ground and run the ball with Frank Gore, but that won’t be very easy if they find themselves down by seven or 10 points in the first half.
THe Betting Verdict
The Colts will prepare a game plan to stop Smith and keep their perfect record intact as they get another easy win.

Gooner’s Statistical Value Bet
The spread has grown to -13 now, which makes it very tight, but we'd still take the INDIANAPOLIS COLTS to cover it - just.
