In Week 3 both Russell Wilson and the 49ers will be battling it out like they have his whole career. This time Wilson will be playing with his new team and new weapons on the offensive end. In Russell Wilson’s career, he’s 17-4 against the San Francisco 49ers. The 49ers will look to beat up on Wilson in their only matchup of the season unless it happened in the Super Bowl. Both teams are coming into this game 1-1 and want to prove their dominance in the NFL power rankings.
Russell Wilson has been a little rusty coming out the gates with his new team. The first two weeks without Pete Carol have been different but one thing that’s been the same is the leadership/will to put his teammates in a position to win. Last week Wilson had 219 passing yards and a touchdown against the Texans. Russell Wilson knows the 49ers like the back of his hands and he’s made some great plays against them in his career. Wilson will look to continue the winning in Denver as they were able to beat the Texans. It looks like Russell Wilson will be without Jerry Jeudy for this big matchup against the 49ers. Wilson will be looking to Courtland Sutton who finished with 7 receptions for 122 yards. Sutton didn’t get in the end zone but look for Wilson to look for that connection this evening as they are looking to achieve the victory. The Bronco’s offense will be helped out by the rushing attack as well with Williams and Gordon so if both can establish things on the ground it could be a long night for the 49er’s defense. Williams has been the leading back and he will continue to set the tone for the Broncos tonight. Look for him to get into the endzone tonight.
The Bronco’s defense will be in for an interesting night as they try to slow down Jimmy G. The one thing about Jimmy being in the starting lineup is the fact that he can throw the ball and run in the same play. Denver will have their hands full with Deebo Samuels who’s the 49er’s swiss army knife. Deebo can single-handedly change a game in just one play. The Broncos will need their secondary to keep a close eye on Deebo at all times and blanket him. If the Broncos can get to Jimmy G it will be an interesting night for Denver. Look for Bradley Chubb to make it tough on the backfield as he can cause havoc like the best defenders in the NFL. Denver will need to keep the big plays of the 49ers to a minimum if they will come out of this victorious. Russ is gonna cook but he needs the defense to help him out for the overall team effort.
The 49ers were playing against Russell Wilson’s old team Seattle. In that game, they lost Trey Lance to a broken ankle he’s out for the season. Jimmy G came in the game and got the offense going instantly like he never lost the starting job. Jimmy knows how to get Deebo and Brandon involved in the passing game and it will be interesting to see how Deebo is utilized this week. Last week Deebo almost totaled 100 yards in the receiving game and rushing game. Look for Deebo to get into the endzone and look for him to get involved to the point he can open things up for his teammates. Jeff Wilson Jr will be able to get some touches in the game and he’s been a great veteran that has been able to come in and produce since day 1. Jimmy G will be in charge under center and he might need to run a little bit to stay away from Chubb and Gregory. The great thing about this Kyle Shanahan offense is the fact that it’s all about the system and when you have players that perfect it’s very special. The 49ers will be looking forward to having George Kittle back in the lineup as the Tight End University major will be ready for his season debut.
The 49er’s defense has been elite the last couple of seasons. One of the big reasons for that has been the outstanding play of Nick Bosa the sack machine. The good thing about this matchup tonight is the fact that they know Russell Wilson and his playing style. The 49ers will need to slow down Wilson in the pocket and make the Broncos a one dimensional team if they will be successful. If they can keep Russell from making his one scramble like play for chunk yards they will be in a great position. Fred Warner has been a stud so far this year and he will be looking to cause some trouble back there. The 49ers have a great run defense and they will try to make it tough on the Broncos.
Prediction: The 49ers will beat the Broncos 24-14 as Jimmy G and Deebo are too much for the Broncos defense to contain. The difference in this one is the fact that the 49ers are used to each other and they have been in big games. This will be the Broncos second primetime game and they’re still trying to find their rhythm and might be without Jeudy as well which is a huge blow.
