Since I've been fired and rehired, it's time to orate upon the coming HUGE EFFIN' FOOTBALL GAME.

Baltimore is going to try to shut down what they believe will beat them on offense.  What would it be?  I think they're going to shut down the read option like Atlanta did, to keep Kap from running wild on them.  I also think they're going to roll the dice on running downs and load up the box with Ed Reed, attempting to stop Frank Gore.

That should open the deep passing lanes for Randy Moss, Michael Crabtree and Vernon Davis.  I can see a play-action pass, perhaps even a fleaflicker, to Gore and down the field to somebody running free in the secondary.

On the other side of the football, I believe that the Niners defense will stone Ray Rice early and they will quit trying to run.  Joe Flacco will start throwing into a nickel package.  The defensive line will start pressuring Flacco and force him into hurried throws and eventually an interception (perhaps two).
