Just guessing of course, but I could easily see them losing @Pit, Bal, NO, @Atl, @Car, Cin. 10-6. In the poll I said 6 losses, but I forgot to count a 7th loss in the playoffs.

The Niner's actually swept Seattle last year (not going to happen this year), I predict that they will split the division games with St. Louis and Arizona, and lose both to Seattle. They can not score enough or run on either Baltimore or Pittsburg so that will be two more loses.

I predict a 6-10 season. Those East coast trips are hard on the West coast teams, and they have 5 games on the East Coast.

the reasonable range they could finish in is probably between 5-11 & 11-5. I would expect them to win about 7; last year they were the 29th worst team in the league according to dvoa, and were lucky to win 7

anybody "expecting" them to win 10 or more games should go to Vegas when the season lines open, b/c they will give you very nice odds that that won't happen. the Vegas over/under will be just about 8 I think.

It's the stinking NFC people. They can easily make the playoffs and this pick could be another #28. The 49ers are a young hungry team that showed improvement last year and finished strong.

People forget, though, that oftentimes after teams make a leap forward, they normally take one step back before making the big push to contender status. Hopefully this is their step backwards year for SF.

The best way to think of it is they'll finish 8-8. That's what the Pats were assuming. The big question will be whether they make the playoffs. If they don't, we could be looking at pick 13-17 or so. If they do, it will be more like 18-22.

Also, their strength of schedule can work in our favor if those teams collectively don't do well, because there are a lot of teams that finish 7-9, 8-8 and 9-7, and a weaker sos means a higher draft choice.
