The San Francisco 49ers (4-4) are currently in fourth place in the most competitive division in the NFL. They’re playing hard for head coach Kyle Shanahan but have been ravaged by injuries. With all the ailments, the odds are stacked against San Francisco returning to the Super Bowl.
Below, we analyze the midseason 2020 San Francisco 49ers Super Bowl odds, their odds of winning the NFC West as well as NFL futures and opine on whether they’re worth a Super Bowl futures bet at this time.

All signs indicate the 49ers should throw in the towel on their 2020 season. Every NFL team has a point of no return for injuries and the 49ers have definitely passed that point. QB Jimmy Garropolo, RB Raheem Mostert, TE George Kittle, CB Richard Sherman and DE Nick Bosa are all on the IR. Name me a single team that could overcome all those injuries. There isn’t one.
Despite the extensive injury list, the 49ers are above-average on defense and have dominated the losing teams they’ve played. They have three more games with each of their division foes and upcoming games with the Green Bay Packers and New Orleans Saints.
San Francisco was BetMGM’s third favorite to win the Super Bowl before the season started at +800 and now they sit at +5000. The market hasn’t downgraded the 49ers because of coaching or effort. It’s as basic as they do not have the healthy talent to compete for a title.

49ers division betting odds
- Seattle Seahawks -278
- Arizona Cardinals +500
- Los Angeles Rams +650
- San Francisco 49ers +1600
The 49ers have the ninth-toughest remaining schedule, according to Football Outsiders, and their big names aren’t coming back. PASS on QB Nick Mullens leading this MASH unit on an absurd run to win the NFC West.
49ers futures picks and predictions
It’s as though BetMGM isn’t weighing in San Francisco’s injuries enough when setting the Super Bowl odds for the 49ers. Given their injuries, the 49ers should be priced alongside the Cleveland Browns (+8000) or the New England Patriots (+10000). PASS on the 49ers at +5000.
