ok, I`m not one of the stat gurus , but here is some interesting numbers the 49`ers are bringing to the Dome sunday;

*S.F. 1-4 on the road
$ Saints 3-2 @ home
(they suck on the road, we suck less @home)

* S.F. total points score 199, 18/game ave.
$ Saints total points 276, 25/game ave.

* S.F. doesn`t have a strong air game, RB Gore ave. 5.6/ carry and is the obvious focus on offense. TE Johson is out w/knee replaced by rookie V.Davis (I predict SF will try to improve A. Smith`s passing numbers this sunday when they discover 3 handoffs will not net 10 yards consistently)
$ Saints defense have given up some huge hunks on the ground, but nobody has slammed the ball down our throats consistently on the ground with back to back 7,8,10 yd gains.

*S.F. has a couple of defensive standouts;OLB Moore has 5.5 saks, CB Harris has 6 INT`s. SF`s pass defense is vulnerable, their run-stop is average but they`ve given up a hunk thru the air.
$ Saints Drew Brees, nuff said.

Summary ; Smart football with no turnovers = W for the Saints
(why am i getting an ill feeling about this game?.. hopefully its just Montana flashbacks)
