The set-up: This will be Denver's third preseason game, as it played in the Hall of Fame Game as well. The Broncos lost four straight to end the regular season last year and they have high hopes with veteran QB Joe Flacco. Denver fell in Seattle last week and Flacco saw limited time in that one. He should see a bit more here, but the veteran will of course be saved for the official Week 3 preseason contest.

The pick: San Francisco was just 4-12 in 2018 and it'll be expecting big things from QB Jimmy Garappolo. But the 49ers' defense was impressive in its Week 1, 17-9 win over the Cowboys. Backup San Fran QB CJ Beathard had a TD pass in the victory. With Denver's starting defense seeing limited time, I believe Beathard is a difference maker in this one tonight. Grab as many points as you can.
