The San Francisco 49ers have been perennial playoff contenders for a few consecutive years now, so it’s only right that they remain that way heading into the 2024 season.
The 49ers enter the new league year as the only NFL team to be favored in every matchup next season.
In all 17 games, including six prime-time spots, the Red & Gold are favored to win, per DraftKings and Fanduel at the time of schedule release earlier this month.
It should come as no surprise that SF is favored in a majority of contests. But, considering their strength of schedule and lengthy roads trips, it’s a bit jarring to see the 49ers favored in every matchup.
That includes the Kansas City Chiefs, fresh off a loss to them in Super Bowl LVIII. SF is currently favored by two points at home, as well as two points in their road clash with there Buffalo Bills.
Other matchups include blowouts, such as a home game with the New England Patriots (11.5), and home to Arizona Cardinals (9.5).
All in all, the 49ers are considered 5.2 favorites over the average NFL team, per data by DraftKings.
Despite being heavy favorites, the San Francisco 49ers will need to reassert their dominance in 2024 if they are to make a run early next year. That won’t come easy however, with a plethora of heavy competition in thee NFC and AFC, knocking on their doors.
The Red & Gold are favored Week 1 against the New York Jets (6.5) on Monday Night Football, per BetMGM. DraftKings has them favored at 5.5 currently.
