San Francisco 49ers at St. Louis Rams, Dec 21, 2008 10:00 AM PST
Date: December 21, 2008
Time: 10:00am PST
Location: Edward Jones Dome St. Louis, MO
Records: 49ers (5-9) Rams (2-12)
Bodoglife.com Spread: 49ers -5.5; Over/Under 43; Money Line: 49ers -230, Rams +190 - Win and the over; let's hope for big points for the 49ers
Weather: Room Temperature
TV Broadcast: FOX - Sam Rosen, Tim Ryan, Chris Myers
Radio: 107.7 The Bone, 680/1050 KNBR - Joe Starkey, Gary Plummer, Rod Brooks
Spanish Radio: KIQI 1010-AM, KATD 990-AM - Fernando Arias and Ambrosio Rico
Rams Coverage: Turf Show Times
Week 16 Prediction Contest - Remember that if you don't get predictions in for the morning games you can still enter predictions for later games and get credit. You get credit for any predictions entered by kickoff of the given game. So, if you forget today, you can still predict the MNF game.
Injuries
49ers: Probable - SS Michael Lewis (abdomen), KR/PR Allen Rossum (ankle), LT Joe Staley (ankle), WR Josh Morgan (head), FS Mark Roman (head), DE Ron Fields (foot); Questionable - LB Ahmad Brooks (back), RB Frank Gore (ankle), OT Adam Snyder (ankle)
Rams: Probable - K Josh Brown (groin), CB Jason Craft (back), DT La'Roi Glover (knee), G Jacob Bell (hamstring), CB Ron Bartell (back)
Alright, let's hope for a nice little blow out. Nothing more, nothing less. Road games are tough, but this is one where the 49ers should just take care of business. Frank Gore is a gametime decision, but given his performance last week, I'm not too concerned about DeShaun Foster handling the rock. I'd like to see Gore crack 1,000 yards again, but not at the expense of longterm injury.
I won't be around to get a recap up after the game, so our Golden Nuggets man Ninjames will be handling the recap immediately after the game. I'll have something up later in the afternoon/early evening.
GO NINERS!

says Frank is OUT today
Simply by pulling on both ends, Patrick Willis can stretch diamonds back into coal

should be a good game
Easy win even without Frank Gore – the Rams are just an awful team.
Seeing as though the Warriors and Sharks won yesterday, I predict a win by both the Niners and Raiders today.
December 20th and 21st will forever go down as THE WEEKEND OF THE BAY.
GO NINERS!!!
We still believe!!

Well.....in my part of the Greater Seattle Area we've received 7 inches of snow overnight
I still miss Bay Area weather. ;-)
If the 49ers can win the last 2 games I think Singletary will be a permanent head coach and Shaun Hill is permanent starter.
The pieces are coming together and as I said before, the Arizona game completely changed the landscape of the NFC West. The 49ers could’ve won this division with a 7-9 record!
Good luck, should be an easy win.
Seattle, the world's worst sports city.

Oh man

The extra bonus is I had TO in fantasy but picked the Ravens to win, so both worked out

Anyone read this?
NFL.com’s Adam Schefter reports that the 49ers are likely to keep Mike Singletary as their head coach into 2009.
Schefter says the interim tag could be removed from Singletary’s name within days after the season ends. Unlike Jim Haslett in St. Louis, Singletary’s promotion to coach has had a sustained impact. He’s the right man for the job.

underthrowing means your reciever can come back for it…
