Uh Eisen made his predictions for the 49ers, 11-6, ok, but losses to CHI, CIN, and swept by the Rams? Huh? I see it more like 14-3 if those other games he has winning, CHI isn't that good, good defense, kinda(Mack & Smith), but horrible OL, plus Fields is probably QB, CIN isn't ready to compete, and no way they beat us, as for swept by Rams, I'd be surprised if we didn't win 1 or both games.

11-6 is way more likely than 14-3. I'm not necessarily agreeing with which games are won or lost. IMO the games that everyone seems to think we will win sometimes end up as a loss. It's very hard to only lose 3 games. I'd say 11-6 should be the floor and 14-3 should be the ceiling for this year.
I agree......every year you beat someone really unexpected and lose to someone really unexpected. Unless you're a top 3 team, then you just lose to someone unexpected.
2019 Falcons beat the 49ers. 2020 49ers had wins against Rams x2, Patriots, Giants, but 0-3 versus rest of the NFC East (granted maybe you could blame on injuries).
Still, it's like this every single year for every single team more or less.
Any prediction without the "WTF" fluke in it, can never be 100%.
