Sherman predicts 49ers will win 13 games and lose pivotal NFC matchup originally appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
It should not be surprising that Many experts are projecting the 49ers. be one of the best teams during the 2024 NFL season.
And that includes former San Francisco cornerback Richard Sherman.
In the last episode of “The Richard Sherman Podcast“, the former defender reviewed game by game throughout the 49ers regular season schedule and predicted that San Francisco will win more games than last year.
“I got San Francisco with 13 wins,” Sherman told co-host Mitch Eisenstein. “The Kansas City game in San Francisco, how can we not have it in prime time? What are we really doing? This is a rematch of the Super Bowl and it’s at 1:25 (p.m.), there’s no way. That’s crazy . — But I think San Francisco finds a way to get that game done. I think coming back at home against Seattle will be another tough game.
“At (the) Green Bay (Packers) in Lambeau, it can be dangerous. Brock (Purdy) played at Iowa State and it was pretty cold there, but Lambeau in November, December is… it can be tough for everyone. That can be a potential loss. I think they can go to Buffalo and win. I think they beat Miami on Monday night. Detroit gets revenge and I think they finish the season with a win in Arizona.”
Sherman believes Week 12 against the Packers on the road and Week 17 against the Lions at home will be the 49ers’ only losses next season, both of which could have a big impact on the NFC playoff picture.
Yes, 13 wins and only two losses. That doesn’t add up to 17 games, does it? That’s because Sherman, the former Seattle star and neutral party that he is, jokingly predicted ties for the Week 6 and Week 11 49ers-Seahawks matchups.
In the end, Sherman predicts a 13-2-2 record for San Francisco this upcoming season, which would certainly be a first.
