CBS - national - 8:25 EST

Mid 50s with a good chance of rain

SF (7-7) cant make the playoffs but San Diego (8-6) can if they win at SF and at KC (8-6) next week.

Chargers hold a tiebreaker over Baltimore (8-6) and Buffalo (8-6) since they have wins over both but they

probably lose a tiebreaker with Pittsburgh (9-5) on conference record. SD could need Denver and Pitt to both beat Cincy (9-4-1). I cant figure our all the possibilities but if the Chargers lose, they're out.

SF QB Colin Kaepernick (3,051 yards passing..16 TDs, 10 INTs) has 425 yards rushing on 90 carries.

RB Frank Gore (204 - 804 yards) and WR Anquan Boldin (74 - 920 yards) both may not play because ther whole team may not care anymore. SF offense has scored just 26 TDs all year. and they have a TOTAL of 83 points in the last 7 games.

SD QB Phillip Rivers 9326 of 482, 3,639 yards...27 TDs, 13 INTs hasn't practiced much of the week but surely will play. WR Keenan Allen is out but Malcolm Floyd 945, 777 yards) averages 17 yards a catch and TE Antonio

Gates (58 catches, 662 yards, 10 TDs) should be ready.

HB Ryan Mathews may be back off injury (ankle) and former Colt Donald Brown has 27 catches

as a 3rd down back. He was good last week. Chargers are coming off losses to New England (11-3)

and Denver (11-3)

over-under is 40 because the 49ers cant score much anymore.

I'd guess some SD fans will drive down the California coast and fill some of the (sure to be) empty seats

I don't know why SF is favored. SD is beat up but they should win

'Q'

Is San Diego vs. San Francisco a rivalry game?

I wasn't aware of that.

Seriously. I wasn't.

Well probably not a rivalry in the sense that they hate each other but both teams have been around for a long time, and they are both in the same state, so I guess an intrastate rivalry is what I was getting at.

This is a rivalry game, so the 49ers may come with extra motivation to play spoiler. Add that to Philip Rivers and his back problem and I think it spells bad news for the Chargers.

Nah... no major rivalry here - yeah they slaughtered us in the one Superbowl we got into but that's long, long ago.  We don't play them often enough for a rivalry to really develop and unlike AFC teams they don't generally stand in the way of us moving into or through the playoffs.

Ryan Matthews out again for SD

That comes as no surprise to us - we pretty much knew he wouldn't be in for this game and perhaps even the next.  I think they're not going to risk him just in case we do make the playoffs and he can come in fresh and make a big difference.  Rough year for Ryan and it's his contract year.  

 

A lot of San Diego fans want to let him go but his rookie contract option is only 3.3 mill.  I just think we need to draft or secure another #1 back and perhaps have a 2 back rotation.  Not sure exactly but he's a quality player when he is healthy... that's the problem..
