49ers vs Vikings

[Wolvie]

Vikings have a lot of momentum coming into this game, plus they have some good playoff experience on the roster. Everything else favors the niners though. Should be a great game! Will be interesting to see if Jimmy G can step up to the hype.

We knew the road to the Super Bowl would be easier going through New Orleans & San Francisco.

Ok and Exit 49 in 1 mile, takes you back to Minneapolis.

My guess is that Garoppolo will put on a clinic.

That's funny, cause think the 49er's have a lot of momentum going into this game?! More so since our offense is playing much better.

Yes, should be a good game as the Vikings do have talent. But i think "everything else favors the niners though", will be tough to over come.

Don't be surprised if the 49er's start off with more running, cause they'll try to establish the run same as the Vikings. I'd bet the Under.

The Vikings did well to pressure Drew Brees and they'll game plan the same on Saturday. However, the 49er's like to execute outside zone runs, slowing down the DE's. If the outside runs are successful, then less passing and less opportunities to pressure JG.

So, you're suggesting we stop home before driving to Green Bay, good thinking!

Good idea, drive to Green Bay to soothe your wounds.

I wanted Philly because that team is toothless now with all the injuries. The Niners will handle the Vikings though; no question in my mind. And if GB beats Seattle, then we have an excellent shot at going to The Bowl.

I didn't have high hopes for Philly winning that game
And that was prior to Wentz being knocked out

Field goal game.

Both teams will play conservative. 49ers defense has struggled lately, Vikings running game was solid last week. I like the Vikings defense to get pressure on Jimmy GQ but I like the 49ers offense to keep them off balance.

20-17 49ers
20-17 Vikings

Flip a coin, will be a fun one to watch

So take the Vikes with the points

Minnesota will start the game leaning on the run, and i think more between the tackles? As in every game, yes our defense needs to 'stop' the run first. Not expecting to stop it cold, but slowing it down so Cook doesn't get near 100 yards.

I think the 49ers will start run too but not because they have to, but to make the DE's think twice. The 49ers will start off run but mix it up including jet sweeps (ie not a RB) and misdirection. The very short passes to Deebo are almost running plays too.

Same with me but I thought Dallas would beat them easily also and they didn't.

Theilen is injured and Diggs is sick. I like it.

Ok fine, but how long is the leash?

 

[deep9er]

49ers to activate Kwon Alexander, use him sparingly

Ok, this makes sense to me. How much is "sparingly" depends on how the game goes?

It probably also depends on how his body is feeling though you can never trust a player.

Hype he's the Achilles heel of the team don't you know the QB's with the hype are Mahomes, Jackson, Wilson and Rodgers.

don't get me wrong, I fully expect the Niners to win, but I would bet on the Vikings against the spread.

On another note, this has been the longest week in the history of mankind!

If you're going to bet, i think the better chance is Vikings at the half.

The Vikings short week plus travel, will show in the 2nd half.

I've never been such a savvy bettor to ever mess with 1st half/2nd half bets, but you make a good point. Perhaps that should be something to look into.
