2020 Win Loss Predictions | Page 2

Week 1 vs Cardinals at home - Win.
Even Cards beat writers expect them to lose this one. Nice draft and nice WR pickup in Hopkins but no time to integrate them into the play book completely and lack of reps with QB due to no or reduced training camps and OTA. For us, we already have most starters returning, and new FAs like Travis Benjamin know KS's system. Murray gives us fits again, but is surprised at how fast Kinlaw is. Kinlaw introduces himself to Murray on the Levi turf and gets first sack of his career.

Week 2 at Jets - Win.
Jets are not even close, and have another rebuild in front of them. Like Sam Darnold, but he is not going be enough. Even with an improved OLine in front of him, and the guy we would have gotten, Becton, protecting his blind side. Gore says hi to us, but rushes for less then 75 yards, as part of his plan to take it easy on us so as to retire as a 49er. Lynch agrees to retire Gore's jersey as a 49ers, if he fumbles in the Red Zone................twice.

Week 3 at Giants - Win
Giants are in an even worse rebuild mode then the Jets. We run the ball down their throats and avoid their secondary like the Plague. Once again, we are Staying in Youngstown after the Jets game, so short travel for us and remaining in the same time zone. Remax agents swamp team hotel trying to sell second homes in Youngstown area to Niner players.

Week 4 vs Eagles at home - Win
Question marks about Eagles offense, decent defense though. Could be a low scoring game. But we will win this, in a tight one. Eagles play 3 soft teams in preceding weeks and actually think they have a decent team. We bring the soaring Eagles down to earth.

Week 5 vs Dolphins at home - Win
Flores isn't Kyle Shanahan and Tua is still a rookie QB. Not going to be close. We will win by 2 scores or more. Kinlaw and Bosa introduce themselves to Tua multiple times. Tua feels a little pain in his hips.

Week 6 vs Rams at home -Win
49er faithful make Levi Stadium a hard place to play for division opponents. Lambs lose too much top talent and have not come even close to replacing them. I see Goff running for his life again, maybe enough mileage to run back to Berkley. A bruised and battered and well sacked Goff looks longingly out the window of his plane at the Cal campus as he departs the Bay Area.

Week 7 at New England - Win
We go on the road to New England. Normally a risky proposition, but no more Tom Brady. His replacement might be good, but not this season. We win comfortably. Belichik tries to talk Jimmy into coming back during the post game handshakes on the field. Kyle and John chaperones Jimmy out to the middle of the field for the post game handshakes.

Week 8 at Seahawks - Loss
We travel to Seattle after traveling 2 time zones to New England. Some injuries to key players at this point. Centurylink always a tough place and Seachickens and Pete Caroll always get up for us. Russell Wilson again in contention for League MVP at this stage of the season. Kinlaw gets his 5th sack of the season here. KS unveils his secret, which is to convert the fastest guy on the team, Marquise Goodwin into a spy on Russell. |Russell can't run away from him, but we still lose. Close game, but no dice.

Week 9 vs Packers a home - Win
Rodgers has yet another bad deja vu moment playing us. Once again, we run the ball down their throats like we did last season and like we did all the way back to Jim Harbaugh. Packers say what the hell, you can't beat destiny, and book their Alcatraz tours before the game. Rodgers looks longingly out the window of his plane at the Cal campus as he departs the Bay Area.

Week 10 at Saints - Loss
Brees has a final chance at the Superbowl. Ruiz protects his ass better then anyone could last year. Yet another shoot out. Ex Niner Sanders goes nuts on us for over 120 yards and 2 scores. Saints win, but we terrorize the heck out of Brees.

Week 11 - Bye

Week 12 at LA Rams - Win
We win again, and by this stage of the season, the Lambs are established in the NFC West division cellar. Lambs can't wait for the season to end and start a rebuild for the next season. We hope Sean does not trade away Goff. We like him, he lets us win. Team checks out Disneyland as a preview for after Superbowl win.

Week 13 vs Buffalo Bills at home - Win
Monday Night Game, we have an extra day to prepare but Buffalo will probably stay in the State of California, having played the week before at the Chargers. Buffalo will have a winning record coming into this game and it will be close, I am thinking defensive battle. We win, but a close one.Buffalo beat writers expect us to win too.

Week 14 vs Washington Redskins at home- Win
Maybe the easiest game of the season. Ron will make sure the Redskins are not the dumpster fire they were in prior seasons. But its not going to be close. John Lynch thanks the Redskins for the Williams trade and then sticks it to them on the scoreboard.

Week 15 at Dallas Cowgirls - Win
We beat McCarthy at Green Bay and we will beat him again in Dallas. Dallas is over rated and we expose them. It will be a satisfying win as the defeat drops the Cowgirls out of play off contention.

Week 16 at Arizona Cardinals - Win
Don't like Kliff Kingsbury and most teams have figured him out by now. Not going to win against our defense. .We squash Arizona's play off hopes with this win, and they join the Cowgirls crying into their beer.

Week 17 vs Seahawks at home - Loss
We clinch the division title by now, have a first round bye by now and rest our starters. Mullens look good in place of JG. We lose, but who cares. We go into the playoffs as healthy as we can be.

Overall record - 13 -3
Superbowl Baby!!

Last yr i was officially 9-7 if we had our humongous injuries once again. Without injuries, 13-3. Same for this yr and this breakdown above looks pretty much like what i think.

This yr i will be officially 13-3

In all honesty, I had no idea we would be in the SB last yr. When we hit 7-0, it got real.

U are not the only one. Even the most hard core of us in NinerNation didn't see a Super Bowl appearance. What I really liked was the last few games, every opponent knew we were going to run the ball on them and they still couldn't stop us. Replacing Staley with Williams is huge for us and will enable us to continue doing that. Running the ball, controlling the clock, keeping those high powered offenses on the sideline will be key to winning double digit games
