A medical appointment and getting caught up at work means this post will be shoddier than usual. Enjoy the (shortened) ride.

Gah! Just gah! This game is not going to be pretty.

Silly Tidbits:

-Thanks to BFC for pointing this out to me. The Bears cut Nathan Peterman only to sign him again the next day. Bears front office playing 9th dimensional chess with other teams in the league? Nope, you guessed it, they screwed up. A beat writer has claimed that they needed to open a spot for a practice squad fella on another team but it didn’t happen. Embarrassing silliness aside, one could make the tired point that crappy qb’s just get recycled constantly. (I’ve said it before many times) But no, the fact is that NATHAN PETERMAN WILL NOT BE DENIED HIS RIGHTFUL PLACE AS THE QUARTERBACK ON THE SCOUT TEAM. THIS IS HIS DESTINY! Spotrac tells me he’s made about 7 million coins since being drafted-it’s a good job if you can get it.

-Burrow is still day-to-day and so is Redshirt.

-Cam Akers heads to the Vikes. The Mattison Era lasted a mere two weeks, though coaches say they still love their ex-president.

To The Game!

-The spread is 10.5.

-These teams have played 34 times in the regular season and they are tied at 17 wins apiece. So I guess the deciding factor would be playoff wins, correct? Uh, they’re tied at 4 wins each.

-Aiyuk is out and fantasy blabbers either say, 1.) Kittle going to have himself a day! or 2.) They have so many weapons it’s anyone’s guess.

-Danny Dimes rushing prop bet is in the area of 37.5 to 39.5. I think he’ll reach that just scrambling for his life, never mind designed runs.

-The only weakness of the Niners D seems to be longer passes outside the hashmarks-look for a few shot plays to Slayton and rookie Julian Hyatt.

-But really, with Saquon out and two starters on a below average o-line sitting out, this might be over as soon as San Franny gets up by two scores.

Poop.
