OUR PREDICTION: There’s a possibility the 49ers will finish with the worst defense in the NFL. The additions of Solomon Thomas (first-round pick), Reuben Foster (first-round pick) and Elvis Dumervil will help, but this is a young, inexperienced unit as a while. There’s plenty of upside for San Francisco, but Cam Newton, Calvin Benjamin and Christian McCaffrey should have a field day against the Niners’ defense. On the other side, Kyle Shanahan’s offense always score points, even if it’s not to the degree of his teams in Atlanta. I like the over.
