This, anything that happens this season is house money. I don't expect us to win out, nor do I expect the tacks to cooperate with the help we need.

It might be nice for the team to dip their toes in the water, but I don't see this season as being one that we'd go on some prolonged run.

I don't know which would make us hungrier next season: getting there, and losing right away, or barely missing the postseason altogether.

Most:  L.A. Chargers:  We already thumped them pretty well earlier in the year over in LA.  They have a small fan base and are less likely to over run our stadium than any other fanbase in consideration.  They are getting healthier, but I think we could still handle them.  A second Trevor Laawrence -Justin Herbert matchup could be fun to watch for the nationwide audience. 

Least:  New England-If our biggest strength is our offense and passing attack, the last thing I want to face is a team that could most effectively negate that strength.  Belichicj's schemes have shut downthe 1986 49ers teams withJoe Montana and Jerry Rice (49-4) , the 1990 49ers tean with Montana and Rice (3-7 and 15-13) and some Manning led Colts teams.  Even though Pederson managed to be effective in his playcalling back in the Super Bowl a few years back, and their offense doesn't pose much of a threat, I wouldn't want to risk that

I'll disagree, Herbert has the hot hand now and I'm salivating at the prospect of facing Mac Jones in a loser goes home battle.
