Prediction on Sunday's game?
The gloom after the Packers close call and the 49ers struggles in the rain is pervasive in the Bay Area .... TOO pervasive.
This is the sort of team SF should run through - Vulnerable at Corner, great at stopping conventional running offenses but not at covering the RB as a receiver. On offense Detroit depends on big running backs who will get met by SFs equally big and physical linebackers. Plus, rain is unlikely and the conditions at Levi's should be perfect for football. Word Friday is Deebo Samuel practiced both Thursday and Friday and will play on Sunday.
Both teams will score but the 49ers will score more and it won't be that close in the 4th quarter.
49ers 36, Detroit 24
