Morning Coffee: 49ers the Super Bowl favourite after dominant win over Dallas

Follow| Archive

The San Francisco 49ers were 10-to-1 odds to win the Super Bowl at FanDuel when the NFL season kicked off.

Following an absolutely dominant 5-0 start, the 49ers are the favourites to win it all at +460 odds.

Brock Purdy threw for 252 yards and a career-high four touchdown passes in a 42-10 win over the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football.

A game billed as a potential NFC Championship Game preview was decided by a 32-point margin.

Purdy became just the fourth quarterback since 1950 to win each of his first 10 starts.

San Francisco’s 15-game regular season win streak dating back to last season is tied for the longest run in franchise history.

From a betting perspective, Purdy has emerged as an absolute darling as he’s 10-0 straight up and 8-1-1 against the spread.

All of a sudden, the 2022 seventh-round pick out of Iowa State is in the NFL regular season MVP conversation as a top-five choice to win that award at FanDuel.

I didn’t bet on Purdy to win MVP.

That said, he absolutely deserves to be in the conversation.

This is the Morning Coffee for Monday October 9^th, 2023.
