With the 2019 regular season halfway over, the New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers remain as the NFL's only undefeated teams in Week 9. And despite the Niners' success this season, the folks over at NFL.com don't seem to totally buy the ideal head coach Kyle Shanahan's squad will take home its sixth Lombardi Trophy this February in Super Bowl LIV.
NFL.com just put together a predictions panel trying to accurately guess who winds up winning this year's championship. The 8-0 49ers received just three votes:
Tom Blair predicts the Niners over the Kansas City Chiefs
Gregg Rosenthal predicts the Niners over the Chiefs
Steve Smith Sr. predicts the Niners over the New England Patriots
New England received the most out of any team in the discussion panel, eight, while the New Orleans Saints received six for second place. The Chiefs and 49ers were tied with three votes apiece.
Interestingly enough, the Oakland Raiders received two votes from David Carr and Akbar Gbajabiamila, while the Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks received one vote apiece.
San Francisco received 19 votes to win the NFC West, while Seattle had seven. EDGE Nick Bosa also received the most votes (23) for Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Peter Panacy has been writing about the 49ers since 2011 for outlets like Bleacher Report, Niner Noise, 49ers Webzone, and is occasionally heard as a guest on San Francisco's 95.7 FM The Game and the Niners' flagship station, KNBR 680.
