This week, the NFL will be playing a game on Thursday night for the first time since the regular season kickoff. So here's our take on tonight's 49ers-Bears showdown(Side note: For last week's results as well as the season records so far, wait til Sunday.)
Bears(+3) at 49ers
Dave: Bears- Quick rant.....who the hell is Vernon Davis to call out anyone, let alone the Bears defense? How can this man be entitled to tell anyone else that they suck? Granted, the Bears D is hardly the juggernaut it once was, but have you been watching your squad the last month, VD? I believe you've lost four straight. I believe your D just got torn up by Vince Young and the Titans a few days ago. Vince Young! He was popping Zanex three weeks ago and he shredded you like Wolverine. Also, aren't you the same guy who cried like a baby on Draft Day? Didn't your coach, in one of his more famous outbursts, preach to the media IN HIS FIRST POSTGAME CONFERENCE as head coach that he can't win with you? Didn't he send you to the lockers at halftime of said game. So, really, Vernon, shut the hell up. Sure, you've enjoyed a nice little resurgence from the Land of Insignificance but you're not Antonio Gates.
As for the game, these teams are both even in my eyes and while normally I'd give the edge to the home team, I think Davis' big mouth motivates the Bears D to show a pulse for the first time since the '06 Super Bowl. I also am a firm believer in The Curse of Crabtree and the fact that, with Nate Clements out, there's nobody to cover Devin Hester(albeit a hobbled Devin Hester). Bears by 6.
Gabe: 49ers - I've said many times that here at Boom Roasted we are unashamed fantasy football nerds, so for today's pick I'm going to give you a tip you can take to your big Italian friend in Vegas, and some fantasy advice. Here is the fantasy advice. The 49ers are among the best in the league at defending opposing tight ends. If you see your tight end is matched up against the Niners anytime, find a better option. Even though he scored 3 TD's last week (on yours truly's bench for my big money team) I think he is due for a letdown. And, because Matt Forte is having a pedestrian year, and the Bears receivers are Devin Hester and something called Johnny Knox, Olsen is their best offensive player. Now for the tip for your paison...the Niners shut down Olsen and the Bears offense. Vernon Davis backs up his talk, because he's a freak. Niners by 6.
