49ers host the Packers in tomorrow's matchup looking for a repeat result from week 1 when they beat Aaron Rodgers and the Packers 30-22. Alex Smith was the starting quarterback for the Niners in the week 1 matchup, but won't be tomorrow since losing his starting position to Colin Kaepernick after he suffered from a concussion week 10.
Should the Niners continue to start Kaepernick, or go with the more experienced Alex Smith? I say stick with Colin Kaepernick. Since stepping up and filling the starting role for his team he has a record of 5-2, not to say he has exactly outplayed Smith, who put up a 6-2 record himself, but he's been winning. Whoever the starting quarterback for San Francisco may be tomorrow, the Packers look to be a handful and play really physical football.
Offensively for the Packers it's clear they'll rely heavily on their passing game. Last week Packer running back DuJuan Harris was held to only 47 rushing yards, opposed to Rodgers 274 yards through the air. Frank Gore will be the offensive focus for the Niners, who are fourth in the league averaging nearly 156 rushing yards a game. If the Packers shut down Frank Gore, there is no way they should lose the game.
I think Aaron Rodgers will take over at some point in this game and lead Green Bay to a 28-17 win in front of the 49er faithful.
