Through 1 Quarter
The San Francisco 49ers are ahead after one, as expected, but they’ll have to keep working the rest of the way. It’s anybody’s game after one quarter, but the 49ers are ahead of the Indianapolis Colts 12-7.
RB Elijah Mitchell has led the way so far for San Francisco, as he has rushed for one TD and 80 yards on nine carries. No one has had a standout game offensively for Indianapolis, but they have gotten one touchdown from TE Mo Alie-Cox.
This is the most points San Francisco has had yet this season going into the second quarter.

What to Know
The San Francisco 49ers watched the action from their couches last weekend, but are set to take to the field. They will take on the Indianapolis Colts at 8:20 p.m. ET Sunday at Levi’s Stadium. The 49ers are out to stop a three-game streak of losses at home.
San Francisco came up short against the Arizona Cardinals two weeks ago, falling 17-10. San Francisco’s only offensive touchdown came from WR Deebo Samuel.
Meanwhile, Indianapolis took their contest against the Houston Texans last week by a conclusive 31-3 score. The matchup was all but wrapped up at the end of the third, by which point Indianapolis had established a 24-3 advantage. RB Jonathan Taylor had a stellar game for Indianapolis as he rushed for two TDs and 145 yards on 14 carries. Taylor’s longest run was for 83 yards in the third quarter. Taylor’s sharp performance set his single-game rushing touchdown high for the season.
The 49ers are the favorite in this one, with an expected 4-point margin of victory. But bettors beware: they are only 1-3 against the spread when favored.
San Francisco is now 2-3 while the Colts sit at 2-4. Two stats to keep in the back of your head while watching: San Francisco comes into the game boasting the fourth fewest thrown interceptions in the NFL at three. But Indianapolis is even better: they enter the game with only two thrown interceptions, which is the best in the league. So expect both teams to feel comfortable airing the ball out.
