The highly-anticipated NFL 2015 Preseason matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and Denver Broncos is set on Saturday, August 29 at the Sports Authority Field at Mile High in Denver, Colorado.
It is Colin Kaepernick versus Peyton Manning in this important preseason game for both teams as they continue to prepare for the league's regular season opening day next month.
The 49ers are 1-1 in the preseason so far, following their loss to the Houston Texans in their opener last August 15, 23-10, then an encouraging 23-6 win over the Dallas Cowboys last Sunday, as per Bleacher Report.
Denver is undefeated in the preseason with wins against the Seattle Seahawks on August 14, 22-10, and the Texans last Saturday, 14-10, via Heavy.
The preseason is "meaningless" as some players coin it, but this game between the 49ers and Broncos is pretty meaningful for both Gary Kubiak and Jim Tomsula as they want to test their rosters' strengths against each other.
Prediction: Broncos win, 27-17
