Now that we know Aldon is gone 9 weeks and Bowman likely for similar duration I will provide a prediction of wins and losses for the niner schedule. I’m trying to get realistic and set aside my biases.
1. Cowboys. Niners should win handily
2. Bears Niners lose – less pass rush and Cutler will shred the secondary
3. Cardinals @ Az. Cardinals win in a close game
4. Eagles. Niners lose. Foles picks apart secondary with too much time on his hands
5. Chiefs. Niners win in a shoot out
6. Rams – niners win low scoring contest
7. Broncos – donkey kong domination in payback for SB loss
8. Rams – Niners win again in low scoring contest
9. Saints – Drew Brees at home too much for niners
10 Giants. – Niners win
11. Redskins. – Niners win
12. Seahawks. Niners win close one
13. Raiders – Carr is the surprise of the rookie QB class and niners lose
14. Seahawks. – SF is blown out
15. Chargers – niners win close one
16. Cardinals – niners win close one.
Record 9-7 and miss playoffs. Harbaugh signs 5 year extension and so does Crabtree.
Division footnotes
Seahawks 12-4 and win division
Cardinals 10-6 and win wildcard
