Expectations are sky-high for the 49ers as they head into the 2023 regular season. Despite the uncertainty at the most important position in the game, no team is predicted to win more games than the 49ers.
Power rankings are as subjective of an exercise as it gets. Peter King ranked all 32 teams in his latest “Football Morning in America” column, and there was only one team ranked above the 49ers in the NFC. I’m sure you can guess who they are:
4. San Francisco. I know you don’t necessarily pick up where you left off the previous year, and I know the QB situation is odd, but prior to the quarterback injury implosion in the NFC title game, I can’t unsee this truth: The Niners were on a 12-game winning streak, with nine of the wins by double digits.
