Golden Nuggets: Spread talk won't go away

Morning everyone. The game is getting closer and closer and thanks to a couple of vandals who thought it keen to throw a couple pumpkins through the read windshield of my ride on Sunday I may not even be going this weekend. Thanks to whoever did that, by the way. Beyond that, I'm still very excited for this game. This team can still make the playoffs, but if the 49ers don't beat the Jaguars, they won't make the playoffs, of that I'm sure. Of course, that's not exactly going to be a problem, considering the 49ers are going to kick those Jags around at the 'Stick like it's nobody's business. Or at least, I hope so. I'm in a bit of a hurry right now so I'll get right to the links.
