Week 10 Thursday Night Preview

Chicago at San Francisco
This is a tight matchup.  When I ranked both teams at midseason, they were right next to one another at 18 and 17, respectively.  With the shortened week, it will probably be higher-scoring, as the defenses have a shorter time to prepare.  The Bears have a 50 yard advantage in yards gained per game, and protect better, while the 49ers are much more efficient in the red zone, both offensively and defensively.  On a full week, I would have taken Chicago.  However, it is a shortened week and they have to travel.  That advantage has to go to the 49ers.  It will be a shootout.  Final score 31-28 San Francisco.
