Me thinks the Niners are highly overrated.

5. There are outliers

I'm not saying the outlier is that they lost, but that they lost in this fashion. Smith having 3 picks in one game as opposed to having 1 pick in 5 games. 49ers picking up 0 sacks when they have had 9 sacks in 5 games. They allowed a 100-yard rusher when they haven't since 2008. I don't expect them to panic and continue to play their game. They have a tough road ahead as they still have to play their 6 division games but it looks like New England is the only time they'll have to travel past the central time zone.

I'm not saying they weren't overrated but I expect them to be underrated as sports pundits typically overreact to recent short-term results.
