No. 4: The 49ers will go 5-1 in divisional play

This one pretty much says it all.

More from SF 49ers News

I predict that the 49ers will go undefeated in their home divisional games this season and will also pick up the W at both the Arizona Cardinals and (finally) the Seattle Seahawks.

I think the Rams will be too tough at their home, but we all know they have a great team.

Why do I think this? Well, the Cardinals are in rebuilding mode, and the Seahawks are a shell of their former selves and I would go so far to say that they’d be the worst team in the division without quarterback Russell Wilson at the helm.

5-1 would be a huge plus for a young team trying to make the playoffs, and I think this will be a statement for where the 49ers are this season.
