NFL Preseason *PUNISHER*
Play: Denver Broncos
Rating: 5*

It's always risky to back a favorite in the NFL preseason, but I have several favorable angles for this pick on the Denver Nuggets. First of all, Denver head coach Gary Kubiak is not one to take the preseason lightly. He has a 22-14 overall record SU (7-2 in Week 2). Secondly, while both teams are looking for their starting QB, Denver has way more depth in that department. Both Mark Sanchez and Trevor Siemian are coming off strong performances in Week 1's 22-point victory in Chicago. Denver will as always have a solid D, and the 49ers are simply outmatched in this contest.
