The 2019 season could wind up determining how the foreseeable future goes for the 49ers. A step forward means they’re on the right track. A lateral step or a step back could be the start of a disaster.

It’s still entirely too early to come up with predictions for games in the 2019 campaign, but we went through San Francisco’s schedule to try and get an early projection on what their record might look like.

Pick: 49ers, 27-24 (1-0)
