Horrible mismatch in San Francisco's favor, need I say more. PREDICTION: 49ers
So that's where Brooks went. What a fall off he's had. He was viewed as a top 10 pick at one point when he was in college. Talk about an athlete too; Virginia had him returning KOs.
Niners have to win this one. Frank Gore will be a beast, not only for the Niners, but for my fantasy team too.
49ers Offense 23.0 ppg (14th) 328.0 ypg (14th) 227.5 passing yards per game(10th) 100.5 rushing yards per game (18th) 49ers Defense 26.5 ppg (27th) 318.0 ypg (19th) 179.0 passing yards per game (14th) 139.0 rushing yards per game (23rd) Detroit Offense 23.0 ppg (11th) 309.5 ypg (17th) 254.0 passing yards per game (8th) 55.5 rushing yards per game (30th) Detroit Defense 41.0 ppg (32nd) 460.5 ypg (31st) 240.0 passing yards per game (25th) 220.5 rushing yards per game (32nd)
What a game. Niners came to play. JT looks like he will a solid starter for the time being and Gore was a beast as usual. 2-1, I see the playoffs being a possibility if they keep this up.
I could easily see them making the playoffs now. I'll take the Niners over the Cardinals any day of the week.
