Oh boy this ones so tough. Gonna wait for sammy and vues arrival and get their takes. Personally i think sf is the better team top to bottom, but seattle has the more cerebral qb (not the more talented one though), and they also have the uncappable 12th man. Winning at green bay and carolina is one thing, but seattle is a completely different ball game with that relentless noise....
Lets break it down a bit by position.
quarterback- wash. Ck is more talented and has more weapons, but my god wilson is definitely the smarter of the 2 that's unquestionable imo.
Running back- sea. Lynch isn't as long in the tooth as gore, gore is still awesome no doubt but lynch is still in his prime.
Tight end- sf. Vernon davis is always the best athlete on the field every sunday, and hell need imo at least 4 big catches in this game for sf to win.
Wrs- sf. Crabtree and boldin are superior to anything seattle can throw out there, but can they get open against the best secondary in the league, doubtful...
Offensive line- sf. Best o line in the nfl imo, has been for 4 years now and although seattles is also good they have shown signs of struggling this year.
Defensive line- wash.
Secondary- huge advantage for seattle obviously. Niners secondary not terrible but not anywhere near as good as seattles. The niner secondary is truly the best secondary i've ever seen in all my years watching football. They have no weaknesses, they cover well, they tackle well, they hit hard, they play the ball better than any secondary ive ever seen.
Line backers- sf. Sfs linebacker core is the best in the nfl and this is not even close also. that is why i believe if sf is gonna win vernon davis needs to have a huge game and they need to find a way to get him matched up against linebackers.
special teams- seattle.
Coaching- toss up. This is truly where this game could be won or loss. Carroll screwed up majorly in last years game against atlanta or seattle may very well have gone to the superbowl last year. He is an unbelievable motivator , but for my money i think harbaugh is the better game day coach.
intangibles- seattle. This is where having the more cerebral team comes into play, and for my money seattle is the smartest overall team in the nfl. Wilson lacks natural talent but he makes up for it with his brains.
