The 49ers may be Super Bowl contenders in 2021, but a rough division and NFL schedule may have influenced lowish odds for win/loss totals.
After what transpired in 2020, San Francisco 49ers fans surely understand how a team with so much hope and hype can fall way short of expectations.
A season removed from a Super Bowl appearance and a general consensus within NFL circles led many to believe the Niners would be right back in the thick of things a year ago, only to see an unprecedented swarm of injuries derail whatever hopes head coach Kyle Shanahan’s squad for the so-called “revenge tour,” ultimately leading to a 6-10 record and last-place finish within the NFC West.
