- How San Francisco could fall out of the 2024 postseason, which is an unlikely outcome.
Based on NFL odds and 49ers playoff odds, the San Francisco 49ers are predicted to make the postseason this year.
San Francisco, who represented the NFC in last year’s Super Bowl, is -450 to reach the playoffs. That price implies a probability of 81.8%.
Comparatively, head coach Kyle Shanahan’s team is +350 to miss the playoffs next year. That implies a probability of 22.2%.
Prediction: Will the San Francisco 49ers Make the Playoffs?
I predict the 49ers will make the playoffs this season. However, there’s a clear scenario that sees San Francisco miss it.
The 49ers play a harder-than-average schedule based on opponent win totals and could have that schedule compounded by scheduling disadvantages.
According to sharpfootballanalysis.com, San Francisco faces a -21 net rest edge, the largest in the league. All told, the 49ers play eight games where their opponent has more time to prepare.
That might not matter for a team as talented as San Francisco in the weaker conference. However, it’s enough of a concern that I’m not laying this number.
