Game-by-game prediction: Will 12 games be enough to obtain the No. 1 seed?

Now that the 49ers schedule has been released, let’s make some predictions. I’m going to break the season into quarters, or games of four. Let’s get right into it.

First quarter - 4-0

It’s a dangerous game to assume, but let’s act as if Trey Lance begins the season under center while Brock Purdy is on the mend. While all eyes will be on the quarterback, Kenny Pickett, a lifeless Rams team, Danny Dimes, and Colt McCoy won’t put up enough points to challenge a potent Niners offense.

I think Kyle Shanahan comes out of the gates aggressive.
