Both teams have trouble protecting their quarterbacks, while generating tremendous pressure. The 49ers separate themselves with turnover differential and red zone offense and defense. They are an old-school smash-mouth football team in the image of Coach Mike Singletary. Final score 24-20 San Francisco.
Minnesota at Arizona
This is an intriguing matchup. Both are division leaders, very effective passing attacks, and convert a high-rate of red zone attempts into touchdowns. As improved as Arizona's defense has been this season, the Vikings have been better. They generate a lot more pressure, and are better in the red zone. Plus, the potential of Kurt Warner not playing or getting knocked out early is too great. Final score 35-24 Minnesota.
Baltimore at Green Bay
This is an intriguing matchup. Two different styles on the offensive side of the football. Green Bay has much better balance, but can throw the ball all over the field, while Baltimore relies more on the run. The Packers have a terrific defense, number one in yards against, while Baltimore can be thrown on. Final score 31-21 Green Bay.
