For the second time in three weeks, the Bears gave up 31 points in the first half . The Bears 15th ranked defense will be up against the Niners 27th ranked offense. The Niners are about running the ball and the Bears might have it easy this week if Niners RB Frank Gore sits out. Needless to say the Bears are ranked 21st against the run and continue to slip. As for offense they are ranked 18th overall with an 11th ranked pass game and 28th ranked running game. Their back field will be tested if CB Charles Tillman, Safety’s Kevin Payne and Al Afalava can’t play due to injuries. The Bears average 22.5ppg and give up 23.9ppg, while they are 1-3 SU on the road where they average 16ppg and allow 26.5ppg. They are 4-4 ATS and 4-4 over/under.The Niners (3-5) lost to Tennessee 27-34 at home in Week 9 and sit second in the NFC West.

RB Frank Gore had 15 carries for 83 yards with a TD, WR Vernon Davis made 10 catches for 102 yards and WR Jason Hill made four catches for 50 yards with two TD’s. The Niners only converted 3 of 5 trips to the red zone; an extra 14 points would’ve given them the win. RB Frank Gore is probable for Thursday’s game due to a shoulder injury and backup RB Glen Coffee is doubtful due to neck injury . The Niners defense has slipped since their bye week giving up big numbers on yards and points. They are the fourth best squad against the rush, but are struggling against the pass, currently ranked 24th overall. With an injured running game their 22nd ranked pass game must perform well against the Bears 12th ranked pass defense. The Niners average 21.8ppg and give up 21.8ppg, while they are 2-2 SU at home where they average 23.8ppg and allow 22.2ppg. They are 5-2-1 ATS and 4-4 over/under. Recent Trends to Consider:
