Three Bold Playoff Predictions for the 49ers

In this story:

San Francisco 49ers

The playoffs are just about a week away for the 49ers. Here are three extremely bold predictions that absolutely will come true.

1. The 49ers will face the Packers in the divisional round. 

Which means the Packers will defeat the Cowboys in Dallas during the Wild Card round. Then Jerry Jones will fire Mike McCarthy on the spot after the game and hire Jim Harbaugh, who will win the Super Bowl with the Cowboys in 2026 with Trey Lance as his quarterback, and in 20 years both will be inducted into the Hall of Fame.

2. The 49ers will face the Rams in the NFC Championship.

And the 49ers will win. Matthew Stafford will throw three picks retire after the game, Sean McVay will go on a long rant at his postgame press conference about how the Rams are heading in the right direction and how this loss actually was good for them. Their quarterback next season will be Jake Browning.

3. The 49ers will face the Browns in the Super Bowl.

And the Browns will win. Brock Purdy will throw three picks. Joe Flacco will pass for 400 yards and three touchdowns and win his second Super Bowl against the 49ers. Flacco eventually will go to the Hall of Fame simply because the 49ers couldn't beat him on the biggest stage. John Harbaugh will go to the Hall of Fame, too, and he and Jim Harbaugh will toast to Jed York on every Thanksgiving.

I'm completely serious about all this. I think.
