How many games will the San Francisco 49ers win in the 2020 NFL season? We look at BetMGM‘s projected win total and the Over/Under odds, while looking back at the 2019 season and key offseason roster changes.
San Francisco 49ers’ 2019 season
The 49ers were great in 2019. They won their first eight games and finished 13-3 in the regular season. They went on to win the NFC Championship before losing to the Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.
Vs. the sportsbooks, they were 9-6-1 against the spread in the regular season (11-7-1 including postseason), while posting an 8-7-1 Over-Under record (9-9-1 including postseason).
San Francisco 49ers’ 2020 offseason changes
LT Joe Staley retired, but the 49ers acquired LT Trent Williams, a seven-time Pro Bowler, in a trade with the Washington Redskins.
They also added WR Travis Benjamin and OL Tom Compton, signing both free agents to one-year deals.
However, San Francisco traded away DL DeForest Buckner to the Indianapolis Colts, and lost WR Emmanuel Sanders – who signed with the New Orleans Saints. DL Sheldon Day, DL Anthony Zettel and LB Elijah Lee also left, signing elsewhere.
The NFL Draft saw San Francisco select DL Javon Kinlaw (South Carolina) and WR Brandon Aiyuk (Arizona State) in the first round.

Odds via BetMGM; access USA TODAY Sports’ betting odds for a full list. Odds last updated Sunday, May 10 at 1:15 a.m. ET.
Projected wins: 10.5 / OVER: -115 / UNDER: -105
If the 49ers simply split their divisional games for three wins and beat the teams expected to be lesser competition (Jets, Giants, Dolphins, Patriots and Redskins), that’s eight wins with five other games to win three more to hit the Over. They should. TAKE THE OVER 10.5 (-115).
