San Francisco

San Francisco doesn’t have any more games against the Rams this season and is looking to finish strong.

They got back to winning again last week against Miami but are starting a very tough two game road trip this weekend at New England.  Win or lose the bigger game might be next week when they have to travel to division rival Seattle who is playing very well right now…

The move to Colin Kaepernick at QB is receiving less and less scrutiny every week.  He might not be setting the world on fire statistically but you can see the explosiveness that is there and that is what coach Harbaugh wants.

Backed up by the league’s best defense he can afford to make mistakes too.  Looks like a good formula to me…San Francisco has been a solid 8-5 ATS this season – 8-3 against teams other than St. Louis who just plain has their number.

The experts are saying this number might still go up so I say wait on SF and get as many points as possible.

I love them in the dog role on Sunday night.

New England

A few games stand out this year and the Patriots smackdown of Houston last Monday night was one of them.  New England hasn’t lost a second half home game in almost forever and in typical fashion appears to be peaking at just the right time heading into the playoffs. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

The fact this team generally rises for big games means we should see little coasting Sunday night…

Tom Brady is quietly having another MVP calibre season.  He is leading the team’s top offense and has thrown just 4 interceptions this year.  The emergence of back Steven Ridley in the running game has made this team much more balanced.

This team can now salt away games the way you would expect a defensive coach would like to…The Patriots are also 8-5 ATS but the real value on NE has been taking the over (10-3).

Even with the 49ers bringing a top defense to Foxboro you can’t expect them to shut down Brady and the gang, just do a better job containing them.

New England’s defense gives up points don’t forget.

Spread Pick:  San Francisco +5
O/U Pick:  Over
Score Prediction:  San Francisco 28 – New England 21
