This game will not be a breeze and in no way is SF an easy out, especially at home. To me, I'm thinking the difference is probably going to be Brees playing passes out of the range of our defenders and with Jimmy Graham on the field, defense will likely be a nightmare in the red zone for us. Those high passes to Graham in the end zone are major killers because they are extremely difficult to defend due to the height and leaping advantage of Graham.

If the 49ers takeaways are going to be a big factor in the game, it probably won't happen in the red zone. I'm confident that we can put enough pressure on Brees to stop him from make a high number of miraculous plays, but with a guy like Breez, he only needs a couple of solid looks per drive to be effective. I think SF could win the game, but it's going to take some strategy.

Overall I'd take Saints +2
The 9ers aren't built to play catch up with Alex Smith as the QB.. If the Saints can get up early, it'll be a long day for 9ers fans.. that being said if y'all can control the tempo by running the ball and keep Brees on the sidelines and win the turnover battle, y'all have a chance..

Id give the edge to the Saints simple cause I don't see the 9ers being able to put up the.points that the Saints can but its a classic grappler vs strikers match..
