2008 Record: 12-4 San Francisco 49ers head coach Mike Singletary had an easy time coming in and making Mike Nolan\u2019s mess look could but often times and interim coach struggles in the next season. While many people think that the 49ers could be a potential playoff sleeper in the NFC, there is little evidence to point to that.<\/p>\n The biggest issue for the 49ers on offense is the lack of an offense. Outside of Pro Bowl-caliber running back Frank Gore, the 49ers have virtually nothing.<\/p>\n The quarterback competition \u2013 if you can call it that \u2013 between Shaun Hill and Alex Smith is sad. Hill will win the job but Steve Young, he is not. Hill is a marginal starter who doesn\u2019t make a ton of mistakes but he doesn\u2019t win you ball games either. He also has alarming number of fumbles (11 in 12 games played over the last two years) although he\u2019s lost just four.<\/p>\n Hill is handcuffed by a lack of weapons on the offense, which doesn\u2019t help matters. Former first-round pick Vernon Davis is a complete bust while current first-round pick, Michael Crabtree, isn\u2019t even signed. That leaves Hill with Josh Morgan and Isaac Bruce who are a cute tandem, but they won\u2019t give opposing defenses nightmares.<\/p>\n Another lingering problem for the 49ers is their offensive line, which is weak. Since Larry Allen moved on and Jonas Jennings busted, the 49ers offensive line has crumbled. The 49ers still don\u2019t have a capable nose tackle, which is arguably the most important position in the 3-4 defense. There are some studs on the defense, like linebacker Patrick Willis and cornerback Nate Clements, but on the whole, this is a defense that will have to get the job done on effort.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s exact what the 49ers have: effort. Singletary gets this team to play \u2013 at least he did last year \u2013 and if he do it again, 8-8 is a possibility. But in reality, this team simply lacks talent almost everywhere on the roster.<\/p>\n The 49ers did finish 5-2 down the stretch of the season but when you examine who they beat \u2013 the fading Redskins, the lowly Rams twice, the crumbling Jets, the equally pathetic Bills \u2013 and you start to question whether they just took advantage of a good schedule.<\/p>\n If they start to tune out Singletary and his disciplinary ways wear this team down, they could be in for a very long season.<\/p>\n Super Bowl Odds: +7500<\/strong><\/p>\n Conference Odds: +3000<\/p>\n NFC South Odds: +260<\/p>\n 2009 49ers Predictions <\/strong><\/p>\n Place they\u2019ll finish in NFC West: 3rd<\/p>\n Place they\u2019ll finish in NFC Conference: 15th<\/p>\n Over\/Under Season Wins Prediction: Under 7.5<\/p>\n <\/strong><\/p>\n Dave Golokhov has written for <\/strong>BETUS Sportsbook, Sportsfanmagazine.com, FOX, Askmen.com, Sports-central.org, and the FOXSports.com Funhouse.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" It’s another season making NFL previews and Super Bowl predictions for the San Francisco 49ers.
