I see that none of you are showing any love for mah Forty Niners.
Actually, as much as I like them, the 49ers ARE upset bait. They haven't really played well all season long, and a win tonight (actually I think they'll lose -- probably resting guys) won't do that much to change things.
There is something about this team that screams 'mediocrity', or at the least, a relative inability to make big plays at big times from all but Owens.
What the 49ers have going for them is a strong LB corps -- this should be useful against Shockey (look for a Peterson-Shockey matchup if the Niners don't doubleteam Shockey) and Barber, and luckily for the niners, the Giants WRs are beat up.
What does this all mean? I dunno, I'm just rambling.
