Switching to the 49ers, now 6-5 with the sixth best record in the NFC. They have the following six games left. Fun fact, five of their six remaining opponents lost last weekend, four of the six have lost multiple games in a row while the Niners have won three in a row and four of their last five. Niners moved up in NFL power rankings from #14 to #12 last week:
at Seahawks (3-8). Lost 3 in a row. Should win. Desperate, just signed 36 year old Adrian Peterson to shore up league's 25th ranked rushing attack.
at Cincinnati Bengals (7-4). Has won 2 in a row against Raiders and Steelers. Six players on questionable injury list (Tate, Evans, Thomas, Philllips, Kareem, Reiff). Tough one. 10 a.m. body clock time. I think this is a loss.
Atlanta Falcons (5-6). Won last game, barely beating Jags after two crushing losses. This should be a home win.
at Tennessee Titans (8-4). Lost 2 in a row to lowly Texans and crunched by Patriots. 8-4 record masks fact that they've scored 304 but given up 290. Scoring has declined or stayed the same four straight games, held scoreless in first half against Texans. Might could maybe win this one. I think it's a win.
Houston Texans (2-9). Lost 1 in a row. Win over Titans. Had lost eight in a row. Home game win.
at Los Angeles Rams (7-4). Lost 3 in a row. This will be an interesting one. Last game of the season, likely playoff implications. Niners had convincing 31-10 at home two weeks ago. I think it's a win.
5-1 to close out regular season, 11-6 overall projected record.
Other fun fact. Offensive genius/guru Kyle Shanahan ranks 27th in the league in 4th down success.
