Game Odds

49ers Offense

The 49ers are finally healthy on offense. They have Brock Purdy, George Kittle, Christian McCaffery, and Jauan Jennings slated to go tonight. On the season as a whole, this San Francisco offense is scoring 24.6 points per game, which is 11th in the league. They are moving the ball primarily through the air. They have the 4th ranked pass offense, averaging 246 yards per game. On the ground, they have not been living up to their own expectations. They are averaging 101 rush yards per game, which is 25th in the league. They have a good matchup tonight as they face an Indy defense that allows a lot of yards through the air.

49ers Defense

Robert Salah has this 49er defense playing great despite a litany of key injuries to his squad. They are allowing 20.9 points per game, which is 11th in the league. Against the run, they are allowing 106 yards per game, which is 12th in the league. They will be tested tonight against the Colts. Indy is trotting out Phillip Rivers at quarterback so they will be relying heavily on their superstar running back, Jonathan Taylor. Against the pass, they are allowing 227 yards per game, which is 22nd in the league. The defensive plan for the 49ers will be interesting considering the quarterback situation of the Colts.

Colts Offense

The Colts have one of the more interesting offenses to talk about. 44-year-old Phillip Rivers will be starting for the second week in a row. He took over for an offense that has been scoring 28 points per game, which is 6th in the league. They run the ball very well, averaging 128 yards per game, which is 6th in the league. They will continue to lean on Jonathan Taylor as Phil Rivers is continuing to find his footing. The pass game had been averaging 229 yards per game, which is 9th in the league. However, Rivers’ arm is not what it once was, and you can expect a sub-200-yard performance.

Colts Defense

If the Colts have any chance to win this game, they will need their defense to step up big time tonight. They are allowing 21.6 points per game, which is 12th in the league. Against the run, they are stout. They are allowing 95 yards per game, which is 6th in the league. The pass defense is going to be the main concern against a high-powered 49ers offense. They are allowing 247 yards per game, which is 31st in the league.

Best Bet Background – George Kittle Receiving Yards over 66.5

Kittle has been Brock Purdy’s favorite target since Purdy returned from injury. Kittle has recorded over 66 yards in 5 straight games. He faces a Colts defense that struggles heavily against the pass. Kittle should be heavily targeted in this game and should continue his productive streak.
