Prediction Time: Cardinals vs. 49ers

[AzWins23]

I know it's a little early, but im so excited that football is back!!!


Cardinals 24
49ers 14

Leinhart- 270 2TD's
James -89 Yards rushing TD
Boldin- 100 yards TD
Fitzgerald -100 yards TD

Defense causes a late turnover, and we settle for a field goal and win!

Cards 34
49ers 27

Offensive is off and rolling.

Defense leaks like a sieve until they get that customary turnover out of nowhere.


Edit: Rackers will boot at least 2 fg's. We ain't that good.

 

[Capital Card]

Look for a big game from Edge; but, our defense continues to give up big plays.

Cards hang on for a close win, courtesy of a last second Rackers FG:

Az 38
Sf 35

Go Cards!!!

Cardinals 23 49ers 21

A late fumble by Frank Gore proves to be the difference.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

Also Vernon Davis will eat us alive

 

[Lloydian]

Starting off with a field goal, but then pounding the ball on virtually every drive, the Cards offense scores 31 points with an added defensive touchdown. Boy this is some good Kool-Aid!

Cards 38
49ers 6

 

[chicards11]

Cards 17
Niners 17

Leinart 240 yrds passing. 1 int. 21-31 compl.

Shipp and James score td's......

Rackers boots a 44 yrder......then the 38 yrd Game Winner

Cards 20
Niners 17

Alex smith will have all day to pass but the secondary looks suprisingly solid. Eric Green and Gerald hayes pick off smith.

J.J. will have a K.O. return of over 50 yrds

 

[Pariah]

SF: 34
AZ: 31

We can't stop Gore. Davis has a big game. Offense looks good, RBBC is alive and well in the desert.

 

[SuperSpck]

Ok every time I pick the Cards they lose, so let's try reverse psychology:

Cardinals 17

San Fran 28

Leinart 192 yds TD

James 129 yards

Boldin 79 yards FM

Fitz 42 yards TD

Shipp 15 yards, TD

Rackers FG

Defense allows 322 yards,

Frank Gore 89 yds 2 TD's

Jackson 149 yards TD

Defense recovers FM for TD

 

[crisper57]

Cards 34
Niners 31

Niners possess the ball for 2/3's the game (Gore)
Cardinals Quick-Strike Early and Often (Receivers)

Rackers bails us out.

I know it's a little early, but im so excited that football is back!!!


Cardinals 24
49ers 14

Leinhart- 270 2TD's
James -89 Yards rushing TD
Boldin- 100 yards TD
Fitzgerald -100 yards TD

Defense causes a late turnover, and we settle for a field goal and win!

Cards 31
49ers 28

Leinart- 290 yards, 2TDs (to Fitz and BJ)
James- 90 yards, 1 TD
Shipp- 4 carries for 15 yards, TD
JJ- 3 carries for 20 yards

Close game all the way till end of the 4th qtr but with less then a min to go leinart leads us to a good drive and Rackers hits the game winning fg

 

[blindseyed]

I'm usually wrong when I pick points, let's hope the trend continues:

AZ-21
SF-30

 

[az1965]

Cards 31
49ers 29

 

[nurnay]

I expect a lot of offense in this one.

SF: 34
AZ: 31

Leinart over 300 yards passing, Edge over 100 yards rushing, but we can't stop the Niners offense at all.

 

[nurnay]

And yes, my post was an attempt at a reverse jinx.

 

[slanidrac16]

Cards 27
49ers 24

Leinart 19/ 30 / 0 ints. 229yds 1 td
Edge 21 carries for 84 yds
Shipp 5 carries for 8 yds 2 tds
Boldin 8 catches for 80 yds
Fitz 8 catches for 101 yds 1td
Johnson 2 catches for 30 yds
Rackers 2 for 2.
SF
Smith 18/31 / 1 int 247yds 2tds
Davis 10 catches for 156 2 tds.
Gore 25 carries 123yds. 1 tds.

One of our tds drives will beset up by a long ko return by Breaston.

They are who we think they are!

 

[seesred]

I'm really bad at this because I always pick our Cards. So this year no predictions. I want us to win so badly and get this season going on a positive note.
Oh okay what the heck....

30-24 the

Gore rushes for 100+.

Smith has as many TDs as INTs.

Cards lose 24-17.

SF - 24

We'll see how the Pariah avatars work

 

[ajcardfan]

49ers - 30

Cards - 20


A role reversal from last season's opener. The 49ers are under immense pressure to NOT lose this game. Turnovers in the first half dig us a deep hole, and we almost climb all the way back. But, the D can't get a stop in the 4th and allow the clinching score.
