6. San Francisco 49ers (8-6)
FPI chances to make playoffs: 84.1%
FPI chances to win division: 0.8%
Current projected first-round matchup: at Buccaneers
Nobody is really talking about them, but the 49ers have won five of their past six games and have maneuvered into a near-lock position for a wild-card spot. ESPN's FPI currently has their postseason chances at 84.1%. Their remaining schedule isn't easy; they have games at the Titans and Rams, with a home game against the Texans. But the real question is whether there are two NFC teams set to overtake them at this point. The chances aren't high.
Remaining schedule: at Titans, vs. Texans, at Rams
✅7 Rush TD this season, most by a WR in Super Bowl Era (previous WR record was 4)
✅5 straight games with a Rush TD, longest by WR in Super Bowl era (previous WR record was 2)
🎯Could be the only WR to lead his team in Rush TD since the 1970 merger pic.twitter.com/

#49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo now leads the NFL in yards per attempt at 8.48. Kyler Murray second at 8.42. Obviously, Garoppolo benefiting from Niners' resurgent run game but that's what they need from him to have success. Quality of attempts paramount while quantity limited. 12/19/21, 5:58 PM

NEED A NUMBERS GUY IN THE BOTH LIKE PERERIA….
Fourth down is the new third down
Two weeks ago I micro-analyzed Brandon Staley’s penchant for going against football tradition by consistently going for it on fourth downs when the math told him it advantaged him. On Thursday night, in the 34-28 loss to Kansas City that likely will determine the winner of the AFC West, Staley went for it five times on fourth down—and three times failed.
I asked Champion Gaming chief innovation officer Frank Frigo, a veteran numbers-cruncher at EdjSports, how he felt about each of the five Staley fourth-down calls. He liked four. He didn’t hate the fifth—fourth-and-one at the goal line at the end of the first half—but he would have kicked the field goal there and taken the easy three points. “They probably have a 55 percent chance to convert that into a touchdown,” Frigo said, “but all the benefit of leaving Kansas City with the ball at the 1 if you fail is taken away because it’s at end of the half.”
Frigo said he hopes Staley sticks to his guns, because the math is behind him. “Human beings love to play results,” Frigo said. “If they fail twice on fourth down, the tendency is not to want to go for it on the third try. I hope Staley stays the course. He’s right.”
