Brock Purdy has never lost an NFL regular season game. The traders at FanDuel aren’t expecting that to change tonight. The San Francisco 49ers are a 10.5-point favourite for their Week 3 showdown against the New York Giants on Thursday Night Football. The 49ers are currently -560 on the money line. This is the Morning Coffee for Thursday September 21st, 2023.
Daniel Jones finally opened things up in the second half against the Cardinals and finished with 321 yards and two touchdowns.
Jones should be in line for a tougher test this week, especially without his most dangerous offensive playmaker in the lineup. The 49ers have covered five straight and 10 of their last 11 games as home favourites, so it’s not a surprise that the 10.5-point spread for tonight’s game would rank as the largest closing point spread at FanDuel so far this season if it holds.
On the surface, 10.5 points for a prime-time game on a short week seems like a lot of points to lay with the favourite. At the same time, I understand why bettors would hesitate to take the points with a New York team that was blown out in a 40-0 shutout loss to the Dallas Cowboys in Week 1 and then found themselves down 20 to Josh Dobbs and the Cardinals in Week 2 before rallying to avoid an 0-2 start to their season.
