The 49ers won’t play like the lower-rated seed
This isn’t such a “bold prediction” but with the 49ers being the lower seed of the two teams, I don’t see San Francisco playing like the are the team who didn’t have the bye week last Sunday.
I really like how the 49ers showed they can win on the road last weekend in Green Bay with the game-winning field goal by Phil Dawson, and I feel they have the momentum headed into this game.
What will win this game for the 49ers is their running game. I know the NFL is a “passing league” in today’s game, but in the playoffs, teams must be able to run the football and I believe the 49ers can do that with Frank Gore and Colin Kapernick Sunday.
