Brock Purdy is set to take the field for the San Francisco 49ers for the first time in several weeks as they face the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football. New DraftKings users can access a $200 bonus bet along with three months of NBA League Pass for free to place bets on this game or other Monday sports. The 49ers, favored by 7.5 points following a 19-point win over the Cardinals, are expected by the SportsLine prediction model to cover the spread, making it one of the best bets available on DraftKings for Monday. With a recent record of 3-2 and all wins by at least 10 points, San Francisco looks strong, with the over/under set at 49.5 points, slightly increased from the opening line.
The model also predicts the Phoenix Suns, as 6.5-point underdogs, to cover against the Houston Rockets, and one of SportsLine’s top experts favors a bet on No. 13 Gonzaga against No. 11 Alabama in college basketball.

Regarding the 49ers vs. Panthers, San Francisco has barely shown its full offensive capabilities this season but still managed to score 41 points last week despite missing key players. The Panthers, holding a 6-5 record but ranking low offensively, could struggle to keep pace. The model shows a 56% chance of the 49ers covering the spread.
In the NBA matchup, the Rockets will be without star Kevin Durant, who won’t return to Phoenix due to personal reasons. The Suns, bolstered by Dillon Brooks and Devin Booker’s performances, are on a hot streak with an 8-1 run in their last nine games. The model strongly favors the Suns to cover the 6.5-point spread in 68% of simulations.
For the college basketball showdown, Alabama defeated No. 8 Illinois and is favored by expert Thomas Casale to cover the 4.5 points against Gonzaga with their aggressive playing style.
