Bold Prediction 10 and Final Thoughts
10. The WFT will surpass the expectations of media pundits, analysts, and fans in 2020.
The Burgundy and Gold will finish with a record of 11-5 and capture the NFC East crown. They win their first playoff game in many years and fall just two points short of making it to the NFC Championship game.
Alex Smith will play in two contests where the games are already decided. He goes 11-14 for 121 yards and no interceptions. During the offseason, the Indianapolis Colts offer second and fifth rounders for Smith and the trade is made, thus giving the WFT two picks each in the second, third, fifth, and seventh rounds.
The WFT defensive unit ends the season as the third-best in the league. Chase Young garners solid support for Defensive Rookie of the Year, but he falls just short of the votes needed to take home the trophy. The offensive unit ranks as the 12th-best in the league – much better than analysts expected.

The predictions are bold, but would it be too surprising to see if two or three of them become a reality? Anything is possible, so sit back and dream your wildest dreams this season. Your imagination might be on to something.
