Last week, we gave San Francisco 49ers fans four options to decide what was the biggest concern for the team ahead of training camp: Health of stars, secondary talent, schedule, and a top-heavy roster. In a landslide, health of stars won the vote by 78 percent.
Injuries to the top players are, at least on paper, the driving force behind what would be a down season for the Niners.

Surprisingly, the 49ers have the third-best odds to win the division. Surprise may not be the correct word. But the price is a bit confusing. According to FanDuel Sportsbook, the 49ers are +310, compared to +200 for the Seattle Seahawks and +100 for the Los Angeles Rams. The lower the number, the more likely it is that you’ll win.
Unsurprisingly, the three NFC West teams each have the shortest odds to win the NFC. The Rams are the runwaway favorites at +290, while Seattle is second at +550, with the 49ers coming in at third at +850. The teams to follow those three are the Lions, Eagles, and Packers.
