Well, Frank Gore has to be licking his lips with this matchup.  The Giants can’t stop anyone on the ground apparently.  It doesn’t help that they will be facing Kaepernick who has the ability to shred any defense on foot.  The Niners are without question the better team in this matchup, hence the 3.5 hedge on this game in their favor.  The Giants are always a mystery team.  They do have Jennings coming back this week, they have a true raw talent in Beckham, and that Manning guy who has been known to break hearts here and there.  But the Giants have looked dysfunctional throughout the season and it’s hard to ever predict them to actually win a game.

The Niners on the other hand are coming off a solid road win against a tough Saints team in the Superdome.  They didn’t really do anything truly beastlike, but they did just enough to come away with the W.  They face a slightly weaker test on the road this week, but as always with the Giants, the X-factor is there.  Just when you think that the Giants are done, they punch you in the mouth.  The Niners have been the complete opposite.  Just when you think the 49ers are an elite team, they get punked.  The Giants will hope to be the ones punking instead of getting punked in their own stadium.  This one really comes down to which Giants team shows up to play.  

49ERS 27 – GIANTS 23
