Eight games, eight wins. All the 49ers do right now is win, and Jerry Rice believes they will take home some serious hardware this season.
"They're gonna continue winning," Rice said Monday morning on ESPN's "First Take." "Oh no, they're gonna win the whole thing. They're gonna win the whole thing. I picked them from Day 1. Jimmy G's gonna get them to the promised land."
There was no holding the Hall of Famer back. Rice looked right into the camera, pointed and said, "Hear me right now, they're gonna win the Super Bowl."

Rice has shown plenty of faith in the 49ers this season. He said San Francisco could play in the Super Bowl after the team started 5-0, and called them Super Bowl contenders after the Red and Gold won their first two games. Now, he's doubling down.
With the Patriots losing to the Ravens on Sunday night, the 49ers are the last unbeaten team in the NFL. But their schedule is about to get much more competitive.

Through Week 9, the 49ers' first eight opponents had a combined 22-43-1 record. Their next eight opponents are 43-24-1.
If the 49ers truly are Super Bowl contenders, they will have to prove it against teams like the Seahawks, Packers, Saints and Ravens. It all starts Monday night on Nov. 11 against Seattle.
