NFL Lines: The San Francisco 49ers have unfinished business to complete for the 2014 NFL season as their entire purpose this year is to unseat their hated NFC West Division arch rival Seattle Seahawks as Super Bowl Champions. The Seahawks beat out the 49ers for the NFC championship last year to deny the 49ers a return trip to the Super Bowl where they fell just short in a painful loss to the Baltimore Ravens to end the 2012 season.
This season also shapes up as a do or die scenario for prickly head coach Jim Harbaugh, who is looking like the type of coach that has a short shelf life due to his dynamic personality. The San Francisco 49ers opened as a +730 choice to win Super Bowl XLIX.
September/October
San Francisco is at Dallas September 7, hosts Chicago on NBCSN September 14, is at Arizona on September 21, hosts Philadelphia September 28, hosts Kansas City October 5, is at St. Louis on ESPNMNF October 13, is at Denver on NBCSNF October 19, and will be on a bye October 26.
November/December
San Francisco hosts St. Louis on November 2, is at New Orleans on November 9, is at the New York Giants on November 16, hosts Washington on November 23, and hosts hated Seattle on November 27 in a special Thanksgiving night showdown. San Francisco is at Oakland on December 7, at Seattle December 14, hosts San Diego on December 20, and hosts Arizona on December 28.
Summary
The REAL season for the 49ers begins in January with the NFC playoffs. The 49ers signed QB Colin Kaepernick to a huge extension to put all of their chips at the middle of the table with an all in bet for the Super Bowl next February!
