BY ADAM GREENE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n All the San Francisco 49ers did in the 2022 preseason was attempt to toss their season right into the garbage, but fate had other plans. Trey Lance, who would have led the Niners to an 8-9 record at best, was injured in the second game and Jimmy Garoppolo took over and immediately made the 49ers a contender.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It turns out, San Francisco had another Garoppolo on the roster, Brock Purdy, and he got them to the NFC Championship once Jimmy G was lost for the season. Once again, that\u2019s where their season ended as it often does. But, hey, 2023 is a new year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2022-23 Record:<\/strong> 13-4<\/p>\n\n\n\n Playoffs:<\/strong> Lost to the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship Game<\/p>\n\n\n\n Presumed Starters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n QB:<\/strong> Brock Purdy<\/p>\n\n\n\n RB:<\/strong> Christian McCaffrey<\/p>\n\n\n\n WR:<\/strong> Deebo Samuel<\/p>\n\n\n\n WR:<\/strong> Brandon Aiyuk<\/p>\n\n\n\n WR:<\/strong> Jauan Jennings<\/p>\n\n\n\n TE:<\/strong> George Kittle<\/p>\n\n\n\n FB:<\/strong> Kyle Juszczyk<\/p>\n\n\n\n LT:<\/strong> Trent Williams<\/p>\n\n\n\n LG:<\/strong> Aaron Banks<\/p>\n\n\n\n C:<\/strong> Jake Brendel<\/p>\n\n\n\n RG:<\/strong> Spencer Burford<\/p>\n\n\n\n RT:<\/strong> Colton McKivitz<\/p>\n\n\n\n LDE:<\/strong> Cleeland Ferrell<\/p>\n\n\n\n LDT:<\/strong> Arik Armstead<\/p>\n\n\n\n RDT:<\/strong> Javon Hargrave<\/p>\n\n\n\n RDE:<\/strong> Nick Bosa<\/p>\n\n\n\n WLB:<\/strong> Dre Greenlaw<\/p>\n\n\n\n MLB:<\/strong> Fred Warner<\/p>\n\n\n\n SLB:<\/strong> Oren Burks<\/p>\n\n\n\n LCB:<\/strong> Charvarius Ward<\/p>\n\n\n\n RCB:<\/strong> Deinnidire Lenoir<\/p>\n\n\n\n SS:<\/strong> Talanoa Hufanga<\/p>\n\n\n\n FS:<\/strong> Tashaun Gipson, Sr.<\/p>\n\n\n\n K:<\/strong> Jake Moody<\/p>\n\n\n\n P:<\/strong> Mitch Wishnowsky<\/p>\n\n\n\n PR:<\/strong> Ray-Ray McCloud III<\/p>\n\n\n\n KR:<\/strong> Ray-Ray McCloud III<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2023 NFL Draft: <\/strong>Round 3: Ji\u2019Ayir Brown, Safety, Penn State, Round 3: Jake Moody, Kicker, Michigan, Round 3: Cameron Latu, TE, Alabama, Round 5: Darrell Luter, Jr., CB, South Alabama, Round 5: Robert Beal, Jr., Edge, Georgia, Round 6: Dee Winters, LB, TCU, Round 7: Brayden Willis, TE, Oklahoma, Round 7: Ronnie Bell, WR, Michigan, Round 7: Jalen Graham, LB, Purdue<\/p>\n\n\n\n Players Gained:<\/strong> Javon Hargrave – DT (FA), Isaiah Oliver \u2013 CB (FA), Sam Darnold \u2013 QB (FA), Clelin Ferrell \u2013 DE (FA), Jon Felciano \u2013 Center (FA), Brandon Allen \u2013 QB (FA), Matt Pryor \u2013 OG (FA), Austin Bryant \u2013 DE (FA), Darryl Johnon \u2013 DE (FA), Anthony Avertett \u2013 CB (FA), Myles Hartsfield \u2013 CB (FA)<\/p>\n\n\n\n Players Lost:<\/strong> Trey Lance \u2013 QB, Mike McGilnchey \u2013 RT, Jimmy Garoppolo \u2013 QB, Samson Ebukam \u2013 DE, Charles Omenihu \u2013 DE, Jimmie Ward \u2013 Safety, Eammanuel Moseley \u2013 CB, Daniel Brunskill \u2013 OT, Azeez Al-Shaair \u2013 LB, Haasan Ridgeway \u2013 DT, Josh Joshnon \u2013 QB, Tyler Kroft \u2013 TE, Jordan Willis \u2013 DE, Tavarius Moore – Safety<\/p>\n\n\n\n San Francisco 49ers 2023 Odds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2023 Super Bowl Odds:<\/strong> +650<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2023 NFC Championship Odds:<\/strong> +210<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2023 NFC West Odds:<\/strong> -450<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Team Wins:<\/strong> Over 12.5 (-115), Under 12.5 (-115)<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re two games into the season and the 49ers look like the best team in football. Of course, that\u2019s happened before and has not worked out, but that was pre the Brock Purdy era. Yes, I predicted that Brock Purdy would be benched before Thanksgiving<\/a>, but I can say, if that turns out to be wrong, I\u2019m happy about it. I thought the preseason love on Purdy was a little strong, but unlike my compatriots in NFL punditry, I can admit when I might be wrong. I say \u201cmight\u201d because there\u2019s a lot of season left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You might say, \u201cHey, Adam (because we\u2019re on a first name basis and are cool like that), aren\u2019t you a 49er hater?\u201d I say, there\u2019s a difference between hating a team and being a hater of a team. I hate the 49ers, because the Los Angeles Rams are my favorite team. I am a hater of the New England Patriots because they have been a cancerous growth upon the NFL for the last two decades.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a Rams fan, I want the Niners to be good. I want them to have hope. And then, in the playoffs, I want LA to crush those hopes thoroughly, as happened perfectly in 2021-22. That\u2019s hating a team. I want them to think they\u2019re on the way to a Super Bowl championship only to have a cream pie pushed into their face in the final minutes by the Rams. I could not have enjoyed that season more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I want the Pats to go 0-17 for the rest of human history until the sun burns out. That\u2019s being a hater. That\u2019s the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The NFL is better if the 49ers are good and they are very good this year. They could win every single game on their schedule. They won\u2019t, but they could.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2023-23 Win Prediction:<\/strong> 12-5<\/p>\n\n\n\n Follow Adam Greene on Twitter <\/em>@TheFirstMan<\/em><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Connect with us our socials on <\/em>Twitter<\/em><\/a> and <\/em>Instagram<\/em><\/a> for the latest sports news, viral moments, betting odds and the occasional memes.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BY ADAM GREENE All the San Francisco 49ers did in the 2022 preseason was attempt to toss their season right…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":24179,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[129],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-24296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=24296"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24296\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":24297,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/24296\/revisions\/24297"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/24179"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=24296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=24296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.betonline.ag\/news-room\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=24296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
