I don't know if the 49ers are going to win the game, but I'm getting the feeling the 49ers are going to be in a lot of playoff games for the next decade.

With the way the 49ers are playing defense right now and the way the Seahawks are starting to play defense the NFC West could be the new AFC North in a few years.

Is Alex Smith the best story in the NFL that basically everyone ignored this year? Dude has amounted to nothing in the NFL for what feels like forever after being a #1 pick, and now he's finally getting it done. If you told me five years ago that Alex Smith would be leading a team like this I would've been like "lol".

No, the better strategy is to take a sure TD when you can get it. Forget what people say about scoring too soon.

It's not JUST a FG. You also have three more downs to try and rush the ball in for a TD and waste clock while trying to do so.

You also have three more downs to turn the ball over and a 4th down to mess up the FG.

As someone who sympathizes with that sentiment. I don't think you do that in that case.

Saints get the ball back with probably ~25-30 seconds, but only need to get a FG. I think you can make a case for that being a better situation than ~2:10 left with one timeout and needing a TD, but I don't think it's that clear-cut.

looking at going 5/5 on predictions, this could be my best one yet

New Orleans Saints (13-3) vs. San Francisco 49ers (13-3)
Estimated Spread: 49ers by 1

What a nightmare matchup for the Saints. If only they hadn't lost to the Rams! Now they have to travel to San Francisco to play on crappy, muddy, grass against a team that can pound out slow methodical drives and keep Brees off the field. I feel like a lunatic picking Alex Smith over Drew Brees in a playoff game, but he pretty much won't have to do anything except not turn the ball over (a role he has surprisingly excelled in). I see Brees throwing a couple picks in this game and the 49ers controlling field position and the clock by limiting mistakes and pounding the run.

49ers win 27-24


i mean seriously? i wrote that before the saints even played the lions. and if smith hadn't just balled on the saints a field goal would have made my score prediction nearly perfect. everything down to brees throwing a couple picks is spot on.

why am i in the NYPD academy when i could be making money on espn or something?

If you think the odds of a turnover in that situation are higher than the odds of Drew Brees driving for a Touchdown with 2:20 and a timeout left, I don't know what to tell you.

If we had a really bad defense I might agree. Run the clock and wait for the Field Goal.

But we've been stopping Brees most consistently than any other team. Better to take the touchdown and leave it up to the 49ers defense.

It's not really a matter of "better odds."

If you're playing with the lead, then sure, go down and waste clock.

If you need to score to get ahead, then take the points when they're there.
