Yes, the 49ers can make the playoffs, and they have already qualified after their Week 16 win. With their championship pedigree and deep roster, San Francisco looks positioned for another postseason appearance and potentially to make a run to the Super Bowl.
San Francisco’s playoff picture is bright, with a proven coach, strong quarterback play, multiple offensive playmakers, and a dominant defense. The 49ers have balance on both sides of the ball, and oddsmakers expect them to strongly contend for a division title.
Still, they must maintain their health, hoping to avoid catastrophic injuries like last season, and carry momentum in one of the league’s tougher divisions.
The 49ers are currently in third after their recent game. They started the playoffs with a 23-19 upset win over the Eagles at Lincoln Financial Field. But their season is over after they fell to the #1 seed, the Seattle Seahawks, at Lumen Field.
San Francisco has qualified for the playoffs 29 times in franchise history, including multiple appearances throughout the 2010s and 2020s. Their historical playoff record is 39-25. They have made the postseason six times under Kyle Shanahan and won two NFC Championships during that time.
Take a look below at how the 49ers' Super Bowl odds compare to those of other teams in their division.
