San Francisco at Minnesota (09/27/2009)

play of the week
san francisco is very capable of stopping the run and they are determined to stop adrian peterson, who doesn't look like he will be 100%. Patrick Willis and company held Peterson to 3 yards last season and while the numbers might not repeat the effort will. Favre will have to do more than just manage the game in this one..Minnesota might be 2-0 but those wins came against arguably the two worst teams in the league in cleveland and detroit so they have yet to be tested.
San Francisco makes a statement.
SF +7

San Francisco 49ers @ Minnesota Vikings
San Francisco had been very good on the defensive end, but they will not be able to stop the best NFL's Rusher which will play by the Vikes, and they can't even entertain the idea of having their defensive scheme focused against RB Adrian Peterson, otherwise they will overwhelmed by the Vikings' Passing Game, ergo the 49ers Defense has a very troublesome task ahead. Knowing that their Offense is not their best suit, specially on the Passing Game, we can expect San Francisco to rely on their Rushing Game, where they have an excellent option, but they will face a great Running Defense, which will make life harder for the 49ers O.
Minnesota is playing very well on both ends, defensive and offensive. Their D is very strong, both against the opponent's Passing Game and Rushing Game as well, which just makes things worse for their opponents offense. Veteran QB Brett Favre has played very intelligently, despite even suffering some sacks, but he is not taking unnecessary risks and that has translated in zero interceptions. The reason why he is prefering to play in a safer way is quite simple actually: Favre knows he can rely on Adrian Peterson ability to get 1st downs on one carrie, and when you have a such talented running back, you don't have to take much risks on the passing game, and that is a wise decision from him.
Having the best roster of both teams, and also the most complete, the Vikings also have the home field advantage, which makes them the obvious favorite for this game. Besides, what the 49ers have to offer to this game regarding their edges, is nullified by the Minnesota's strong spots, which in fact can surpass San Francisco, thus creating a nice mismatch for us to exploit and I believe that the Vikings will be able to win this game by one or more touchdowns.
Pick: Minnesota Vikings -7 -105 (1,95) Legendz / MIN -6,5 -107 (1,935) Pinnacle

My argument is that this line opened at -/+8, for a few reasons. Among them, are San Francisco's basement dwelling for the better part of this decade. Favre's 'playing under center', is too a variable which bettors are meant to look towards. The Niners really came into their own after their head-coaching change (at the tail-end of last season). They have not looked back since. 
Presumably, this will be a 'grind it out' type of game, which is why so many are running to place their chips on the 'under'. If this game is such an obvious 'under' play, I wonder why the line opened at '+/-8' and currently sits at '+/- 7'. Perhaps the 'under' is not such an automatic play. Perhaps this is too many points for the Vikings to cover.
I agree w/ some earlier posts. Though each the Niners and Vikes are undefeated, the visitors have beaten two of the top teams within their own division, where as Minnesota has beaten two of the worst teams in the NFL
Favre has thrown a lot of TD's throughout his illustrious NFL career. He has also thrown a lot of INT's. I anticipate a dominant performance by the Niners, as they create turnovers and shutdown Adrian Peterson. Though MIN may respect that the Niners are a better team than are DET and CLE put together; thoughts and action are two different animals. We all know ourselves to be mortal, but at that "moment of truth" . . . a person's true character is revealed.
49ERS +240

One final thought: To those that would point to the Vikings' "great statistics", this Vikings team has yet to be tested. This Niners team has. That's the point.
I might win a one-on-one pick up game of basketball by 100 points, but if it was against at 10-year-old child, then that win becomes decidedly less impressive.

Lastly (for real this time): FAVRE and his WR core are scarcely on the same page. Those whom have their hopes pinned on watching Favre throw all over the Niners' secondary, are going to be sorely disappointed. Not b/c Favre no longer can throw those types of passes, but simply for the fact that he still doesn't know his receiving core.
Cheers and enjoy the game. 
God Bless!!

Take the Niners and the points.

This is Favrah's first home game in Minny. And, next week he hosts his old friend Green Bay.
But, don't forget, when SF beat SEA last week, Hasselback went out before the half and SEA didn't score again. A much more lopsided win than it should've been.
Gore vs AP should equal out the ground game.
Farve vs Shaun Hill ...um...
9ers do look decent on paper, but I'm thinking FARVRAH lights em up in his MINNY home debut. Don't think Farve doesn't want to face GB with a lossless Minny record. Plus, those fans are happy to have him there, and they'll show it.

Peterson is starting with a shot in the back.
He's just dealing with pain... watchout.
Favre has been laying low from the beginning for this game. There were 5 news stories where they mentioned this as the first big game of the year, and that you may not see a lot of the Viking till game 3.
On Warm-up 'Today' (now) Favre was out early and made five long passes right away.
Today we see Favre return.
this should be a no bet for serious people
