49ers remain favored to represent NFC in Super Bowl LV

The signings of Tom Brady by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers or Emmanuel Sanders by the New Orleans Saints haven't pushed either team above the San Francisco 49ers as oddsmakers' favorites in the NFC.

Oddsmakers aren't expecting the 49ers to suffer a Super Bowl slump, either. The team was one of the biggest surprises last season after finishing with four wins in 2018. San Francisco went on to win 13 games, the NFC West, and the best record in the conference. It also fought its way to a Super Bowl appearance.

Things didn't end as the 49ers had hoped, but that doesn't mean they will suffer the same fate as other Super Bowl losers in recent years. The Los Angeles Rams are the most recent example, losing to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LIII and then missing the playoffs last season.

BetOnline gives the 49ers the best odds of repeating as NFC West champions in 2020.

San Francisco 49ers (-125)
Seattle Seahawks (+350)
Los Angeles Rams (+400)
Arizona Cardinals (+700)

As for the 49ers' win total, BetOnline has the Bay Area squad at 10.5 wins.

San Francisco 49ers
Over 10.5 wins (-105)
Under 10.5 wins (-115)

Seattle Seahawks
Over 9 wins (-130)
Under 9 wins (+110)

Los Angeles Rams
Over 9 wins (+115)
Under 9 wins (-135)

Arizona Cardinals
Over 7.5 wins (-120)
Under 7.5 wins (+100)

In fact, the 49ers' 10.5 win total is the best among NFC teams. Only the Baltimore Ravens (11.5) and defending Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs (11.5), both AFC clubs, are expected to produce more wins in 2020.

That could be significant for the 49ers with the NFL changing the playoff format for the upcoming season. The NFC and AFC will each admit one more team into postseason play, upping the total to seven total per conference. That means only one team per conference will earn a first-round bye and be able to rest up during the Wild-card round.

San Francisco (+500) is also favored to win the NFC Championship Game, and return to the Super Bowl. Close behind are the Saints (+550), and then the Buccaneers (+800) and Dallas Cowboys (+1000). It's no surprise that Kansas City (+350) is favored to do the same on the AFC side.

Both the Chiefs (+650) and the Baltimore Ravens (+700) have better odds than the 49ers (+1100) to emerge as Super Bowl LV champions.

49ers assistant coach also suffered torn Achilles during Super Bowl

San Francisco 49ers linebacker Dre Greenlaw is currently rehabilitating after undergoing surgery for the torn Achilles he sustained last month during Super Bowl 58. He'll have a partner in his recovery, as he wasn't the only member of the team to suffer that specific injury. Head coach Kyle Shanahan spoke to reporters on Tuesday morning at the NFL owners meetings and revealed that defensive backs coach Daniel Bullocks also sustained a torn Achilles during the game. "[It occurred] about five minutes after Dre's," Shanahan told reporters. "I think it was when [S] Ji'Ayir [Brown] got the interception, he just jumped up and cheered, very similar to Dre's, and his Achilles went too." Bullocks remained on the sideline and continued coaching throughout the

Details emerge on 49ers' 1-year deals with Jon Feliciano and Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles

By Site Staff

Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano and linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles recently re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers on one-year deals. OverTheCap.com has revealed the contract information for both deals. Feliciano signed a contract that includes the minimum base salary for a player with eight accrued seasons of experience—$1.21 million. Flannigan-Fowles' base salary is slightly higher, at about $1.77 million. Feliciano is scheduled to count about $2.28 million against the 2024 salary cap, while Flannigan-Fowles is slated to consume almost $1.3 million. The linebacker's reduced impact is due to the 49ers using a portion of up to $1.45 million of salary that won't count against the salary cap for veteran players. The 49ers are paying Feliciano a
