Do not forget- there is a Thursday Night Game this week- Chicago(4-4) @ San Francisco (3-5)!
Line- SF by 3
Prognosis
Both teams enter the game struggling for survival with SF having lost the last 4 and Chicago having been blown out in 2 of their last 3. Head coaches and defensive specialist Lovie Smith and Mike Singletary both realize that as the 2nd half of the season starts, the loser of this game will have a very slim chance to make the playoffs. The biggest storyline of the game (according to the media) revolves around a statement made by SF Tight-end Vernon Davis- “We can destroy their guys up front” – the media has focused on the destroy part only- this statement will not have an impact on the game, but Davis will have explaining to do if he doesn’t back-up his comments.
Must Starts:
SF- Gore, Davis
Chi- Cutler, Hestor, Olsen
Looking OK
SF- A.Smith (Bears D has been Terrible), Crabtree (seems to be real)
Chi- Forte (never a bad play), Bennett (reach that may work), Chi D (Smith has been putting up int’s.
