Prediction
San Francisco 49ers UNDER 6.5 (-125) Season Wins
The San Francisco 49ers will adapt a new personality this season with a new head coach and the signing of new players and losing players. The 49ers will most likely struggle early on and possibly throughout the season. They have a very rough schedule on top of their tough divisional opponents. Oddsmakers are speaking volumes by making them the least favorite team to win their division, behind the St. Louis Rams. At most, the Niners win 6 games, playing the likes of the Seahawks twice, Packers, Steelers on the road, and the time it will take them to rebuild their chemistry.
