San Francisco 49ers at Atlanta Falcons

This week the streaking Atlanta Falcons will take on the rising San Francisco 49ers.

The QB matchup for this week is QB Colin Kaepernick against QB Matt Ryan. This year Kaepernick has had 1814 yards passing, 10 TDs, and 3 interceptions. Kaepernick is also quite the runner with 415 yards rushing and 5 TDs. Ryan this year has had 4719 yards passing, 32 TDs, and 14 interceptions. I feel that this match up is too even to really choose a superior side, but if I had to choose I would go with Kaepernick because of his legs.

The HB matchup this week is HB Frank Gore against HB Michael Turner. This year Gore has had 1214 yards rushing and 8 TDs. Turner this year has had 800 yards rushing and 10 TDs. Gore is definitely the preferable HB in this matchup.

The WR matchup this week is between WR Michael Crabtree and WR Roddy White. This year Crabtree has had 85 receptions, for 1105 yards and 9 TDs. White this year has had 92 receptions for 1351 yards and 9 TDs. This matchup I will give to White.

In the end, I have to go with the 49ers who are having a quickly escalating attack with the help of Kaepernick. 49ers, 31-20.
