It should come as no surprise that the 49ers are heavily favored by the above panel for Sunday’s Week 9 game, but kudos to Pete Prisco for going out on a limb and picking the Giants. It may not work out for him, but at least someone has faith in rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.
Meanwhile, most expect this to be a one-score game except for Vinnie Iyer, who sees San Francisco squeaking out a two-score victory.
Other experts and analysts from around the league also trend heavily toward San Francisco, with 86 percent picking the 49ers to win on Sunday, per NFL Pickwatch.
