SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Today, the San Francisco 49ers announced a new investment in the team by Pete Briger Jr. and the Briger family, who have acquired a non-controlling, minority interest in the team. The deal, which was approved by the NFL at the League meeting on October 22, will drive organizational growth and enable new opportunities.

My Week 7 picks went 20-10 overall and included correct upset picks of the Colts over the Chargers and the Cowboys over the Commanders. Here are my Week 8 picks.

The current landscape of the NFC shapes up well for the 49ers to not only make the playoffs, but also do damage once they get there. Of course, they can’t afford any injuries and need Ricky Pearsall and Brandon Aiyuk healthy, not to mention Brock Purdy. It’s not realistic to expect the defense to hold opponents to ten points as they did in Week 7.
