[GDT] Gmen @ Niners ... You dont wanna catch the VD

This 4:25 (EST) game features the 3-2 Giants at Candlestick Park versus the 4-1 49ers. The Giants coming off a strong win against the browns look to keep their momentum going into this match up. The 49ers coming off a devastating performance against the Bills look to keep their Super Bowl run going strong against the defending champions.

Matchups

Frank Gore

Gore rushing for over 400 yards so far on the season looks to attack the giants line coming off of weak performances against their previous match ups. Gore looks to prove that hes still a top back in the NFL and is going to put 110% of his effort into this game. Gore looks to gain over 80 yards like previous giant match ups. Hes also hoping to see the endzone once or twice on Sunday.

Ahmad Bradshaw

Bradshaw coming off a career game last Sunday gaining excatly 200 yards looks to keep this momentum against the best ranked rush D in the leauge. He isnt thinking he will put up the same performance but looks to out gain Gore in both yards and touchdowns. Bradshaw looking like he has taken back the starting job in NY is gonna have to prove that he deserves it. So you should fully expect a fantastic performance by Ahmad on Sunday.

Prediction

Giants 21 49ers 18

Ending with David Akers missing a 45+ FG

A win in Candelstick would be a HUGE statement to the NFL. Hoping these "hints" about Hakeem are accurate and that he will play. With him, we are a total nightmare for any secondary. Without him, we become fairly predictable.

Giants in a thriller, 27-26

Our defense has to be able to step up and stop VD and Gore. Without them, their offense is stifled big time. Have 0 confidence that the arm of Alex Smith and WRs Manningham, Crabtree, and ancient Moss can beat us.

On offense, we have to establish the run early if we don't have Nicks. That means keeping RBs fresh and cycling in Bradshaw and Wilson when we need to. Need to trust the rookie at some point. It would be great to have Brown for this game, but he's out. Without Nicks, the running game has to get going to set up play action. That defense is probably the best in the NFL. The ball has to get spread around.

The biggest problem with this match up is their front seven versus our offensive line. Not only will it be tough to run on, but Eli got crushed last year by that passrush. If we keep Eli upright, we have a chance to score some points because I'm not convinced that their secondary is all that great.

Nicks vs Culliver NEEDS TO HAPPEN!!!!!! Last year Nicks didn't really do that much damage against us, but Mr. Salsa had a field day. I am amazed at how well this team performs despite injury after injury every single season. Question, why does this team only have eight total sacks?

They will be especially difficult to run on so I think this game comes down to entirely our passing game clicking and our offensive line protecting Eli for 3-5 seconds when he needs it.

Their rangy ILBs make it especially hard to pass down the middle of the field as well as passing it short.

Our offensive will be the x-factor. Either they will be responsible for us getting killed or be responsible for letting Eli do his thang. I don't see much success for any of our RBs in this one. No one runs well against the 49ers.

One of the marquee matchups of this year and a definite chance to make a loud statement. Even Green Bay doesn't scare me as much as the 49ers do.

I, for no good reason, have a good feeling about the Giants in this game. I feel like this is the kind of game they surprise me in.

Would love a win but certainly not expecting one. I had this pegged as a loss as soon as the schedule came out. Traveling across the country to SF and beating them in their house is no easy feat. My concern as X said is minimizing injuries and playing well enough to keep up momentum going into the Washington and Dallas games.
