The oddsmakers see it differently however \u2013 the Niners currently sit as a 10 points favorite and that number may go down with the arrival of Richardson.<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Football Picks\" href=\"https:\/\/www.capperspicks.com\/handicappers\/\"><strong>*CLICK HERE* GRAB OUR BEST Expert NFL FOOTBALL Picks for 2013 GAMBLING season!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The Indianapolis Colts squeaked a win out in Week 1 against Oakland \u2013 they didn\u2019t play all that well against one of the lower tier of teams in the NFL and they lost last week to a decent, not elite Miami team. The problem appears to be a defense that has been largely manhandled by a couple of below average offenses so far. The Colts are 23rd in total defense thus far and 29th against the run \u2013 and now they have the task of facing an elite offense that will be motivated to erase the memory of an ugly Week 2 performance.<\/p>\n<p>The Colts bettered themselves offensively for sure with the acquisition of Trent Richardson \u2013 the onus won\u2019t be solely on Andrew Luck anymore! So far Luck has been forced to shoulder the load \u2013 he is 43-66 for 499 yards and three TDs so far this season and he is also the team\u2019s second leading rusher with 76 yards. But just like the Colts\u2019 defense, their average looking offense will be facing an absolutely top notch unit this week \u2013 unenviable especially after the humbling SF took last week.<\/p>\n<p>If there is any team in the NFL that is going to come out strong in Week 3 it is the 49ers who were beaten, bruised and outclassed last week. Not acceptable to a team that fancies themselves as legitimate Super Bowl contenders. San Francisco will look to take it all out on the Colts this week in front of their home town crowd. \u00a0[soliloquy id=&#8221;82219&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>Colin Kaepernick clearly wasn\u2019t himself last week \u2013 the crowd noise affected him just like it affects everyone else. Consider it his one mulligan of the year. At home, expect him to return to the form that saw him absolutely carve up the Packers defense in Week 1. He passed for over 400 yards in that game. You simply can\u2019t look at San Francisco\u2019s performance last week \u2013 they are twice the team they showed in Seattle.<\/p>\n<p>The Niners have the honor of facing a sketchy defense this week \u2013 one that has been unable to stop anybody so far. Frank Gore should finally be a factor as the 49ers settle back into that quality balanced team that everyone expects they are.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco\u2019s defense could also use this game as a spring board for better things. They are middle-of-the-pack statistically and should relish the chance to prove themselves against one of the best young QBs in the game.<\/p>\n<h3>Betting Prediction<\/h3>\n<p>:<\/p>\n<p><strong>A few trends to consider<\/strong><br \/>\n\u2022 Under is 20-8 in IND last 28 games overall.<br \/>\n\u2022 Over is 8-1 in SF last 9 games overall.<br \/>\n\u2022 SF are 19-6-1 ATS in their last 26 games on grass.<br \/>\n\u2022 SF are 16-6-1 ATS in their last 23 home games.<\/p>\n<p>It will take Trent Richardson a game or two to learn his new offense \u2013 my thought is that he won\u2019t be a deciding factor out of the backfield just yet. That said look for the Indy offense to look ordinary again against what should be a very motivated San Fran defense. The Niners were very resilient last year \u2013 they were able to bounce back with a double-digit wins after each loss. The Niners prove why they are considered and elite squad Sunday!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Pick:<\/strong> San Francisco 49ers -10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indianapolis vs San Francisco Betting?
