49ers open with fantastic betting odds to win Super Bowl 57

Despite it being a year away, the 49ers betting line to win Super Bowl 57 is notably good with only a handful of teams ranked ahead of them.

The San Francisco 49ers are going to enter the 2022 season as a true Super Bowl contender.

This isn’t just hype or hyperbole in any regard. And in the wake of nearly making it to Super Bowl 56, only losing to the eventual Super Bowl champion Los Angeles Rams late in the NFC Championship game, it appears the Niners are poised to be right in the thick of the hunt for the Lombardi Trophy this upcoming season.

49ers have a stacked Super Bowl-caliber roster, but Trey Lance is the question

The Niners’ biggest question mark heading into 2022 will be whether or not second-year quarterback Trey Lance can adequately pick up the reins in the wake of a highly expected trade of veteran quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo this offseason.

Lance, who went 1-1 over two starts in 2021, will nevertheless be surrounded by a star-studded cast that includes All-Pro wide receiver Deebo Samuel and Pro Bowl tight end George Kittle.

Players like those two, and others, will be expected to help Lance transition from a high-profile rookie backup into a franchise-caliber starter in 2022.

Fortunately, Lance might only have to equal the level of play Garoppolo showed over the course of last season for San Francisco to have its legitimate chance of making the Super Bowl.

Anything above that, of course, would be a mere bonus. And that’s precisely what the 49ers are hoping for.
