On the whole, the 2018 San Francisco 49ers are a great handicapping lesson. Based on a few meaningless wins at the end of 2017 did hype for their futures success be triggered. Additionally, the hot hand of new 2017 starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo add fuel to the fire. At the beginning of 2018, few teams were getting more betting on NFL love than San Francisco. Yet the 49ers crashed and burned with Garoppolo missing 13 games due to injury. In fact, injuries decimated the 49ers and exposed their lack of depth. San Francisco enters 2019 as damaged goods.

2018 49ers Season in Review
Overall San Francisco finished with a, betting on NFL record of 4-12 straight up and 5-11 against the spread. Nine of their games went over the total. Despite their horrible record, the metrics were not as bad. To show, the 49ers ranked 16th in total offense and 13th for total defense. However, they were a revealing 21st for scoring and 28th for points allowed. Certainly, a MASH unit of injured players was the key culprit. But the 2018 preseason hype was absurd and proven unjustified.
