December 19th Picks

Ryan's Picks


Pick #1 Frank Gore more rushing yards in 1st half.

I like Frank Gore to have more rushing yards than Rashard Mendenhall. A couple things working against Gore, the 49ers always defer when they win the toss, and you can expect Kendell Hunter to get some carries. But, the 49ers have the best run defense in the NFL, and one of the best in NFL history. They still have yet to yield a rushing TD and have not given up a 100 yard rusher in 35 consecutive games. I expect the niners to try to slow down the steelers pass rush by pounding the ball, and  I expect Gore to our run Mendenhall.
