Why Bet on the 49ers?

The San Francisco 49ers are now looking for Chip Kelly to lead them to an improved season. The 49ers roster ranks as the 32nd best in all of the National Football League. It will be interesting to see what Kelly does with the offense, after he was fired from the Philadelphia Eagles. The 49ers should start Colin Kaepernick at quarterback, but Blaine Gabbert is still the back-up. At running back, look for Carlos Hyde to get a great opportunity, but Shaun Draughn will be a good option. The receiving core for San Francisco starts with Torrey Smith, and then a cast of guys that have yet to prove themselves. On defense, the 49ers will hope for Ahmad Brooks and Ray Ray Armstrong being added to the mix will start the improvement process.

Why Bet on the Texans?

The Houston Texans are no longer starting the season with Arian Foster as a question mark at quarterback. Now, the Texans will start at running back with LaMar Miller. Miller comes over from being overlooked early and often in Miami, Backing up Miller for the Texans is Alfred Blue, who remained with the team. DeAndre Hopkins has emerged as one of the most athletic receivers in all of the game, but can Osweiler find him enough to win the division once again this season? Houston still sits with studs on the defensive side. J.J. Watt is still there, and a guy by the name of Jadeveon Clowney is not too bad either. The Texans added Devon Still and Quintin Demps in the off-season.

My Expert Pick & Prediction

The Houston Texans will hope to get a good start from their new quarterback. A ton of controversy has been placed on them with the amount of money they spent on a guy that has not been in the league much. The San Francisco 49ers will get their first look at the team with Chip Kelly at the helm. This is a national game, so look for both teams to play starters for at least a quarter, maybe a quarter and half. In the end, Houston still has the most talent in this game. The bet for Sunday night is the Houston Texans +2.5 over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night in the National Football League. The final score prediction is Texans 27 and 49ers 24.
