No. 5: 49ers Go Undefeated on Monday Night Football

The 49ers are slated for four prime-time games in 2018, with two of them falling on Monday Night Football.

First, they’ll face an quarterback Aaron Rodgers-led Green Bay Packers squad on Oct. 15 in Week 6 on the road. Then, almost a month later in Week 10, they will duke it out at home with quarterback Eli Manning and the rebuilding New York Giants.

Going to Green Bay will be the tougher of the two contests, for sure. But I see this game being one of those signature victories for Kyle Shanahan and Co. during this promising turnaround.

And the Giants? Well, they have a long way to go before sniffing any playoff hopes.

There are those who shall scoff at this prediction, but I predict Ws for both of these games!
