Week 14: vs. Washington Redskins

The Washington Redskins may have an above-average defense, but their offense is a mess. They only have one intriguing weapon on the offensive side of the ball in Terry McLaurin; the rest are either aging veterans or unproven players. This is an easy victory for San Francisco.

Prediction: 49ers 30, Redskins 10

Week 15: at Dallas Cowboys – Sunday Night Football

The Dallas Cowboys offense looks overwhelmingly good, especially after they added rookie CeeDee Lamb with the 17th overall pick in the draft. Still, their defense leaves much to be desired, especially after they lost some key pieces like Robert Quinn and Byron Jones. I think Jimmy Garoppolo has one of his best performances of the season and outscores Dak Prescott in JerryWorld.

Prediction: 49ers 27, Cowboys 23

Week 16: at Arizona Cardinals

I still believe Kyler Murray can give this 49ers team fits. His rushing prowess combined with his pinpoint accuracy will allow him to overcome his offensive line deficiencies in some of his matchups. I think the 49ers lucked out last year by winning in the final moments in both of their matchups with Arizona. I predict the Cardinals upset the 49ers in Glendale as San Francisco looks ahead to their divisional tilt in Week 17.

Prediction: Cardinals 23, 49ers 20

Week 17: vs. Seattle Seahawks

This game will once again likely decide the winner of the NFC West. These teams are nearly even in terms of overall talent, so this matchup could go either way. However, since I gave Seattle the win earlier in the season, I’ll give it to San Francisco in their regular-season finale.

Prediction: 49ers 24, Seahawks 20
