It looks pretty simple to devise an offensive game plan around the Bears right now \u2013 give the ball to the running backs and watch them do all the work!<\/p>\n<p>As bad as the defense was last week for Chicago, the offense had a difficult time converting when they had the chance.<\/p>\n<p>Jay Cutler threw for 347 yards and Matt Forte gained 169 combined yards and the team scored only 20 points. With Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffrey banged up already the Bears offense looks a tad vulnerable as we head into Week 2.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=66501&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<h3>49ers<\/h3>\n<p>San Francisco took their foot off the gas a little bit last week and coasted to an easy win at Dallas.<\/p>\n<p>The 49ers defense, minus a host of playmakers from last year held up relatively well although the Cowboys did gain 127 yards on the ground against them. The defense, which most expected to take a huge step backward without their suspended and injured stars created four turnovers \u2013 three interceptions! San Francisco\u2019s secondary will get a few opportunities again Sunday as the Bears unleash their typical aerial attack.<\/p>\n<p>Offensively the 49ers looked OK \u2013 they didn\u2019t have to do a whole lot against the Cowboys but when called upon they certainly were efficient and effective. Colin Kaepernick went 16 for 23 for 201 yards and two TDs, Anquan Boldin had 99 yards receiving, Michael Crabtree showed up and Vernon Davis caught two TDs.<\/p>\n<p>San Francisco gained 127 yards on the ground last week and looks primed for a better effort this week.<\/p>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63752&amp;amp;limit=1&amp;amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n<p>Offensively, the 49ers have a nice matchup that they should be able to exploit all over the field.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Week 2 Betting Trends:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>\u00a0Over is 12-3 in CHI last 15 road games.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0CHI are 2-6 ATS vs. a team with a winning record.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0CHI are 7-20-1 ATS in their last 28 games overall.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0SF are 6-1-1 ATS in their last 8 games in Week 2.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0SF are 28-11-1 ATS in their last 40 games on grass.<\/li>\n<li>\u00a0Under is 5-2-1 in SF last 8 games in September.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The San Francisco 49ers look like the better team on both sides of the ball ahead of this weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Add in the injury concerns of Alshon Jeffrey and Brandon Marshall and this game looks like a blowout. Seven points looks a little steep but I still like the Niners to cover in front of their home crowd.<\/p>\n<p>The Niners make a statement while the Bears fall to an unexpected 0-2.<\/p>\n<p><strong>NFL Week 2 Betting Prediction<\/strong>: 49ers -7 on\u00a0Sunday Night Football<\/p>\n<h3>Check out our <a title=\"NFL Week 2 Odds\" href=\"https:\/\/capperspicks.sportsdirectinc.com\/odds\/nfl.aspx\" rel=\"nofollow\">Updated NFL Week 2 Odds<\/a>.<\/h3>\n<p>[dfads params=&#8217;groups=63706&amp;limit=1&amp;return_javascript=0&#8242;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Football Odds: Bears vs 49ers NFL Week 2 Regular Season action sees the Chicago Bears taking on the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football September 14 at Levi&#8217;s Stadium.
