You are very bearish on the 49ers. You either listen to too much mainstream sports media or you don’t understand how the 49ers built the super team they had, how they are doing it again, how well they identify mid and late round talent that other teams miss and how good a coaching duo of Shanahan and Saleh are. Sure the roster has experienced a lot of turnover and the retool is nowhere near done but you are really discounting the value of having a top 5 coaching duo and a roster littered with all pros. I do think the Cards and Seahawks have gotten better and are building well. I think an argument could be made that the Rams are currently better than the 49ers if Stafford is healthy but he is not. We have to see what that looks like. He was good last year but already starting to show his age and now he has a jacked up back?
The 49ers season could absolutely go all wrong but heading into the season they should be ahead of all West teams. Which is where Vegas has them.
My hatred is rooted in jealousy lol.
If mcaffery returns to 2023 form you’ll be scary. If not I think they could very well miss the playoffs with how many injuries you’re dealing with and natural age regression of certain guys

With that being said I’ll bet you 10k sats the cards finish with a better W-L record than the 9ers this year @grayruby
If they tie we can call it a draw and the bets nullified?

Sure. Sounds good. I think the Cards are going to finish 2nd. I don't believe Stafford's back will hold up and I don't believe in Sam Darnold without the Vikings OLine and weapons at all. I think the Seahawks defense is good though and ultimately any team in the division could win it if things break right for them and things break wrong for the other teams.
I think tomorrow I will rank the division by every position group and see how it shakes out. That will be a fun exercise.
