8. San Francisco 49ers (Last week: 11)
The Niners needed to get a win over Philly to get back on the right track. And remember, even if the team settles for .500 through the first half of the season, it’ll get reinforcements back to make a late-season run.
The biggest hesitation I have with putting my faith in the 49ers is the situation Jim Harbaugh is in. Is the front office fully invested in him, and is he invested in his team?
What to know: The ageless wonder, Frank Gore, became the first 49ers player to catch a touchdown pass from Colin Kaepernick not named Anquan Boldin, Michael Crabtree or Vernon Davis since Week 16 of 2012.
