All Pro quarterback Frank Gore will start for San Francisco.  He has been especially impressive going up against the Seahawks,rushing for an average of 148.0 yards.   He actually had a career-best 212 yards in San Francisco’s 20-14 victory over Seattle in 2006 and later rushed for 207 and two touchdowns on just 16 carries in a 23-10 win September 20, 2009.

Seattle will start a new quarterback and being on the road in San Francisco might not be the best environment in which to test the waters.

The new quarterback in question is former Viking Tarvaris Jackson.

"Tarvaris brings so much continuity to us, I think it's the best thing for our club," coach Pete Carroll told the Seahawks' official website. "... I think this guy is a heckuva prospect ... What he brings us is something special. He's a very talented kid.

"He's going to own that position."

Receiver Sidney Rice also left Minnesota for Seattle but is uncertain for Sunday due to a sore shoulder. 

Braylon Edwards and Michael Crabtree will make matters worse as part of San Francisco's receiving corp.  Seattle's pass defense was 27th in the league last year with 249.6 yards allowed per game.

Sagarin has this line at San Francisco -3.5 though Don Best had a power rating for San Francisco of -7.

The 49ers look like they should cover this spread fairly easily provided they don’t completely implode.
