Neither starting QB goes tonight and that seems to swing the game the
home team's way. Campbell has a decent arm, but a laborious delivery
because he spends too much time making decisions and he'll do it tonight
against an aggressive D and behind a poor O line.
As it is, Chicago will try to run the ball to limit his
throwing/decision making, but the 49ers are a tough defense to run on
and it may be a rough night under centre. Forte isn't really a
smashmouth runner and may find the going tough too.
I like Colin Kaepernick and if he were more polished, I'd take him
every day over Alex Smith (so much so I've stashed him in a number of
keeper leagues!) as it is I think Harbaugh will turn Kaepernick into a
fine QB and it may be that tonight we'll see some of that potential: h's
certainly more mobile than Campbell.
San Francisco will also run the ball all game, for all the same
reasons, but I suspect Kaepernick will take some looks downfield which
will keep the Bears' defense on its toes. Gore is a physical runner and
Kendall is a nice change up and although the Bears are a difficult team
to run on, they did creak last game.
I'll give the points.
Pick: San Francisco Giants -3.5 @ 2
Pick: 1st TD Colin Kaepernick @ 10
Pick: Anytime TD Matt Forte @ 2.4
