ANALYST INSIGHT
Even if SF QB Kaepernick has a bad game, it’s not like the Dolphins are putting many points on the board against San Francisco’s defense – M.D. SMITH The 49ers’ pass rush will put a lot of hits on rookie MIA QB Ryan Tannehill – V. IYER SF LB Aldon Smith and company have been getting after quarterbacks with frightening regularity as of late – J. REED The Dolphins don’t have any skill players that could possibly threaten the 49ers defence – D. BILICKI
FINAL PREDICTION
SF		SU		vs SPR		SF (-10.5)
SF QB Colin Kaepernick had his first taste of what a decent NFL defence looks like when he squared off against division foe STL last weekend at Edward Jones Dome. A loss to his name now, QB Kaepernick will be more inspired than ever to keep his position as 49ers ship helm when he returns home to the friendly confines of Candlestick Park this weekend to battle a slumping Miami squad. About the only thing the Fins have done well of late is hold opposing RBs in check. That said, QB Kaepernick has proven he can toss the long pass and, with OT Jake Long out of the lineup for MIA, likely won’t require too many scores this weekend as Sack lunches followed by ensuing Fumbles Lost should be the name of the game for Dolphins rookie QB Ryan Tannehill this Sunday afternoon in the Golden State.

ANALYST INSIGHT
ARI QB John Skelton retakes the helm for the visitor but that's not going to help this horrid offence. Seattle back where it is best (home) after two away – R. THE HANDLE With the Cardinals’ horrendous offense playing in a tough environment in Seattle, this game could get ugly. Looks to me like the biggest mismatch of the week in the NFL – M.D. SMITH The Seahawks don’t lose at home.  The Cardinals don’t win anywhere – M. FLORIO The Cardinals’ defense will try to rattle SEA QB Russell Wilson, but as we’ve seen of late, it takes a whole lot to do that – V. IYER it doesn't matter who the Arizona Cardinals throw out there at QB —this game is going to be a blood bath… Look for SEA QB Russell Wilson to lead an efficient offense, with RB Marshawn Lynch getting plenty of touches. This game won't be close – J. REED
FINAL PREDICTION
SEA		SU		vs SPR		ARI (+10.5)
The Cardinals are so porous at the QB position that, in spite of their obvious reluctance, they have had to once again resort to starting underachiever backup QB John Skelton under Center. SEA has played some inspired football this season, particularly before their Seahawks faithful, sporting a perfect 5-0 record when hunkered down at CenturyLink Field. Nevertheless, SEA continues to struggle at moving the ball through the air, the most proficient aspect of the Cardinals defence, and their rush attack is sure to be slowed this weekend as a result. ARI is a pushover this season, their eight game losing streak a prime example of such. That said, this is a division game and the Cards defensive play will ensure the club is not left too embarrassed on the road this weekend in the far South West.

ANALYST INSIGHT
The Giants know their backs are against the wall, and that’s when this team usually plays its best football – M.D. SMITH NYG QB Manning and his receivers will fly out of the gate to give the Giants a good early lead, which will put NWO QB Drew Brees in more predictable situations against New York’s pass rush – V. IYER I'm picking the New York Giants to win the game at home, but NWO QB Brees and the Saints will keep it close – J. REED
FINAL PREDICTION
NYG		SU		vs SPR		NWO (+4.5)
NWO QB Brees will ensure his ball club has a fighting chance at winning this ball game. The Giants have been far from world beaters on their home field since the opening of their new stadium at the Meadowlands two seasons ago. All that aside, NY remains in a fight for their playoff lives after their loss last weekend in D.C. left Giants QB Eli & Co. interwoven with rival Washington for divisional tiebreaker. The Giants understand the gravity of this ball game and, when pressed against the wall late in this matchup, will find their Super Bowl experienced starters will rise to the occasion when called upon.
