49ers preseason predictions review: Perfect on Pearsall, way off on Aiyuk, Moody (paywall)
“Before the start of training camp, when the San Francisco 49ers were coming off a six-win year, I correctly predicted this for their 2025 season: They would have more than 10 wins, would score 23 points while beating an NFC East team in the wild-card round and would lose a divisional-playoff game.
Impressive? Thanks, I’m blushing. But hold on, I’m not done.
I also accurately crystal-balled this: Ricky Pearsall would have precisely 36 catches while missing significant time with multiple injuries, backup QB Mac Jones would have a high-90s passer rating in his fill-in starts, oft-injured running back Christian McCaffrey would rebound with a 1,200-yard rushing season and rookie second-round defensive tackle Alfred Collins would have an underwhelming debut.
That said, I need to reluctantly say this: The ninth annual edition of the 25 predictions for the 49ers’ season was far from perfect. Among the many misses? Rehabbing Brandon Aiyuk would return in Week 5 (correct answer: never ever), wide receiver Jordan Watkins would be a rookie sensation, super-sub linebacker Tatum Bethune would be sent packing before the season and kicker Jake Moody wouldn’t be sent packing during the season.“
