Tyler Dragon: San Francisco 49ers (-4.5)
The 49ers got a big Week 1 win in Seattle. The loss of tight end George Kittle is huge because the team is already thin at wide receiver. Expect the 49ers to manufacture enough offense to survive.
Christopher Bumbaca: San Francisco 49ers (-4.5)
Injuries this, injuries that. Niners still have Christian McCaffrey, who looks just fine.
Jon Hoefling: San Francisco 49ers (-4.5)
The Saints have lost seven of their last eight Week 2 games. It doesn’t matter how injured this 49ers team is. They are still more talented than New Orleans.
Jordan Mendoza: San Francisco 49ers (-4.5)
Credit New Orleans looking somewhat decent in the season opener. The 49ers look like they have some kinks to work out, especially with injuries already plauging the roster. Still, San Francisco doesn’t have much trouble.
Lorenzo Reyes: San Francisco 49ers (-4.5)
I’ll back the Niners here, but, somehow, they’re already dealing with some significant injury issues. At the very least, I would wait in the week to get more clarity on how Brock Purdy’s toe and shoulder injuries are faring.
Blake Schuster: New Orleans Saints (+4.5)
Mac Jones vs. Spencer Rattler sounds like an elite college football game, not so much in the pros. Especially not with George Kittle on IR. Give me the home dogs in a game I will only watch because it’s my job.
