NFL 49ers Predictions & Handicapping Insight
2021/22 NFL Team Predictions – San Francisco 49ers
- 49ers 2021 Win Total NFL Odds: 10.5 (Over +100/Under -140)
- San Francisco 49ers NFC West Odds: +180
- San Francisco 49ers NFC Championship Odds: +450
- San Francisco 49ers 2022 Super Bowl Odds: +1200
Key Additions:
- QB Trey Lance
- C Alex Mack
- RB Trey Sermon
Trey Lance is obviously the biggest pick up for this team, as they put full faith in the North Dakota State product by taking him with their 3rd overall pick and so far everyone has been raving about him during training camp. He no doubt has a ton of talent, but it looks like Jimmy G is going to be the preferred starter for week 1 and it will be interesting to see what happens with both Jimmy and Trey if the 49ers make a deep run.
The signing of Alex Mack on a three year contract from the Atlanta Falcons is a big signing, as they get him at a great price and have yet another pro bowl offensive linemen to set up for the run and protect against the pass rush. Additionally, he has a great record of consistency and staying healthy as he started every game for the Falcons during his stint in Atlanta.
It may not seem like the biggest signing at this point, but Trey Sermon, which they got in the draft, may turn out to be an excellent player looking fantastic in college and we all know how much this 49ers team has relied on the run in the past.
Key Losses:
- WR Kendrick Bourne
- DL Solomon Thomas
- CB Richard Sherman
The 49ers did lose wide-out Kenrick Bourne who did flash upside for them, but I feel like they will not have much trouble replacing him, so this may not be the most impactful of departures for the niners here in 2021.
Solomon Thomas did not perform up to the standard of a top 5 NFL draft pick as he will be remembered as a bust, and this is another departure which the 49ers should easily be able to make up for given their additions and current roster.
Richard Sherman is a bit of a question mark at this point, as who knows if he will even be playing this year let alone play for the 49ers, but if he is not back it is a pretty big loss as he was certainly still playing at a high level and this would be the one truly impactful 49ers departure during this past offseason.
2021 San Francisco 49ers Predictions: Offseason Analysis
The San Francisco 49ers looked to have had a great offseason, as they made some great pickups for the future and the guys who they lost are likely to be replaced by guys just as good or even better.
In terms of offseason analysis, everything will be weighed on how good Trey Lance is, as it will obviously be a terrible offseason if Trey Lance turns out to be a bust so it is very tough to judge at this point in time, but my first gut feeling is that it was a good one.
2021 San Francisco 49ers Win Total Prediction:
The 49ers have a well built defense, an efficient offense, and a fantastic coach and as long as they are able to stay healthy I think they not only go over their win total, but also win this division possibly even with 12 or 13 wins.
