The 49ers visit the Broncos for Sunday Night Football this week, and we’ve got some provocative prop bets you’ll want to look at.

Both the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos are 1-1 on the young season, yet there’s a stark contrast between these two teams and their respective trajectories heading into their Week 3 prime-time contest on Sunday Night Football.

The Niners couldn’t pull off a Week 1 road win over the Chicago Bears in a proverbial monsoon at Soldier Field but managed to dominate the Seattle Seahawks in Week 2 despite losing quarterback Trey Lance to a season-ending ankle injury. All that means is veteran signal-caller Jimmy Garoppolo takes over again at the helm, perhaps giving some stability to head coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense.

Meanwhile, Denver suffered an embarrassing Week 1 loss to those same Seahawks before narrowly escaping another disaster against the lowly Houston Texans in Week 2.

Through two weeks, the Broncos offense has mustered a mere 32 points, 16 in each game, which isn’t the result most expected after Denver acquired former Seattle quarterback Russell Wilson during the offseason.

While the opening line originally favored the Broncos at home in this matchup, the oddsmakers have since shifted the outcome in favor of San Francisco, which now sits at a 1.5-point road favorite.

With the 49ers looking to improve to 2-1 on the young season, let’s take a look at some fun and interesting prop bets fans may want to observe and explore for this prime-time Sunday night showdown.
