2012-2013 Regular Season: 11-4-1 SU | 9-7 ATS
The San Francisco 49ers lost the title to the Baltimore Ravens but found their franchise quarterback for years to come. Colin Kaepernick took the starting job from Alex Smith in Week 10 and never looked back as he carried the team to its first Super Bowl appearance since 1994.
With Kaepernick under center, the 49ers went 5-2 SU and 5-2 ATS in their final 7 games of the regular season and more importantly, went 2-1 SU and 2-1 ATS in a postseason which included big wins against the powerhouse Green Bay Packers and Atlanta Falcons. Kaepernick put up 1,062 total yards and seven touchdowns in the postseason and had ample support from RB Frank Gore and WR Michael Crabtree among many others. Most key players from the 49ers’ campaign are expected to be back this season and the team has added to the roster.
Not satisfied with their Super Bowl loss, the team was active in the offseason and added key pieces to defense and offense. They added CB Nnamdi Asomugha and DL Glenn Dorsey via free agency and FS Eric Reid via the draft. On offense, they acquired via trade the man that was key to the Ravens Super Bowl win: WR Anquan Boldin.
Not surprisingly, San Francisco is the favorite to win Super Bowl XLVIII (+550) to defend their NFC crown (+300) and to win their division (-120). We all have lofty expectations about their Regular Season Wins Total, as the line is set at 11.5. Can the 49ers finally bag the big one in 2014?
