The San Francisco 49ers have a great opportunity ahead of them these next few games as they will be playing teams that they should beat on paper. They need to take advantage before a brutal stretch to end the season.
Sitting at 7-4, the Niners would be the No. 7 seed in the NFC if the season ended today. They have a 85 perent chance to make the playoffs, according to NFL.com, but they could really increase that likelihood if they take care of business these next few weeks.
In Week 12, the Niners will face off against the Carolina Panthers on Monday Night Football.
