Been the story all year, this Niner team thrives on being underestimated.
Sherman and Kwon will have the defense fired up.
ESPN has SF with a 66% chance of winning (which is pretty damn high).
It's a fun story for Minn, they went into NO and beat the big ol' bad Saints. Thing is, SF is actually a better offense (avg more pts per game and total yards then NO). SF is the 2nd overall team running the ball (NO was 16th). SF is the 2nd overall D (NO was 11th). While NO is for sure a home field advantage, they both play in a dome. Won't be the case this week. Minn also basically had a bye week to get healthy for NO. Not this week.
Big media loves hot takes and creating stories, end of the day if you asked these dudes to put their money down on who will win....I highly doubt they pick Minn.
but yeah I got no problem with them firing up our team
This! And just a note, I haven't heard any one pick the Vikings.
another fun fact...SF is avg 32.4 pts at home and Minn is 2-4 outside of domes this yr.
