San Francisco 49ers 2020 schedule predictions: Picking every game

Overall Record: 12-4

Home Record: 8-0

Away Record: 4-4

There is always some concern about a Super Bowl hangover for the team that loses the big game, but the San Francisco 49ers should avoid that. Although they won’t have the best record in the NFC, the 49ers remain a massive threat to return to the Super Bowl.

The good news is that the core of that team is very young and hungry, so the sting of that Super Bowl loss should fuel San Francisco this season. The 49ers did suffer a few key losses in the offseason, but shrewd drafting should allow San Francisco to fill those voids.

It will be fascinating to see how the 49ers fare this season with the pressure of big expectations for the first time in years. San Francisco flew under the radar a year ago, but there is no chance that happens again in 2020.

The 49ers should win a tight NFC West and get back to the playoffs, but the challenge once they get there will be to navigate a postseason field that features the likes of Green Bay, New Orleans, Seattle, and potentially Tampa Bay, among others. The pressure is on for San Francisco, but it should be well-equipped to avoid the dreaded Super Bowl hangover this season.
