Rooting Guide + Playoff Picture: 11/22

 

I'm proud to present to you the second installment of this weekly feature. So now, with no further ado, here is the current NFC wild card race:

1. Atlanta Falcons (5-4)

1. New York Giants (5-4)

1. Green Bay Packers (5-4)

1. Philadelphia Eagles (5-4)

(Bears, 49'ers @ 4-5, Panthers @ 4-6)

Wow, what a pile-up! We have seven teams between 4-6 and 5-4 in the NFC, leaving the race practically wide open. The division leaders in the NFC are a combined 29-7, so I don't think many of the Wild Card teams will be catching them.

Around SB Nation: Rankings, Picks, and Fantasy Football

I discussed the Green Bay Packers No. 14 ranking in the SB Nation NFL Week 11 Power Rankings earlier. 

In our SB Nation Week 11 NFL Picks, the consensus pick is the Packers over the 49ers

If you're looking for any last second opinion re: fantasy football options, see the Week 11 Scouting Reports

Friday Injury Report: 49ers at Packers

Photo

by Tony Dejak - AP

It's a long list for each team this week. The Green Bay Packers have 17 players listed, and the 49ers 13. But most of the injuries are not serious, and nearly everyone is expected to play.

For the Packers, it's been a rough week of practice. Both RT Allen Barbre and OL Evan Dietrich-Smith were injured during practice, and I'm not expecting either of them to play. C Scott Wells reported a concussion on Wednesday, though the injury likely happened during the game last Sunday. Mike McCarthy expects Wells will start. RB Ahman Green injured his groin late Thursday during practice, and it's not clear whether he'll play. Every other player should be available to play, including three guys who didn't play last week: LB Brandon Chillar, TE Jermichael Finley, and RT Mark Tauscher.

Tauscher will start the game, but he will rotate with OL T.J. Lang, depending on Tauscher's endurance.

For the Niners, only CB Nate Clements and LT Joe Staley are out. Those are two of their big name players, but they missed last week's game too. Fooch said their replacements have played really well. The only other player who could miss the game is LB Takeo Spikes who's day-to-day with a hamstring injury

Overall, both teams are relatively healthy and injuries shouldn't play a major role. The complete injury list for both teams is after the jump.

Matthews: NFL Rookie of the Week

For the 2nd time this season, LB Clay Matthews was voted as the NFL rookie of the week. He remains the only defensive rookie to win the award, which is voted on by the fans. Way to vote for Matthews Packer fans!

Tex's Friday Preview - Niners

Since I spent the entire Packers-Cowboys game last Sunday schmoozing with bigwigs in my chosen profession and attempting to get a job, I had to rely on a friend's BlackBerry to give me periodic updates on the score (whenever he was getting service in that Faraday Cage of a hotel). Needless to say, I startled a few people with my exclamations of joy when seeing the score go from 3-0 to 10-0 and  then 17-0.

But enough about that game. It's time for the 49ers. Here are three people or units I will be keeping my eye on this Sunday, as I again get to watch the game from the comfort of my own home (while catching up on my homework).

1. Niners defense (aka Patrick Willis and friends)

Willis might be the best linebacker in the NFL. Every time I get a chance to watch him, I am more impressed by his tenacity and ability. The rest of the defense, frankly, doesn't blow me away. There are a few solid, established veterans like Dre Bly, Nate Clements, and Takeo Spikes, but all in all, I'm not overly impressed by this unit. I'm sure Mike Singletary sets his defense up to flow through Willis, as he should.

Niners at Green Bay Packers: 5 Questions With Niners Nation

Photo

by Michael Conroy - AP

Fooch runs the fantastic SB Nation site for the 49ersNiners Nation. I asked him 5 questions about the 49ers.

Brandon:  So are you an QB Alex Smith believer, or won't he ever live up to his No. 1 overall status? His 2009 stats look very similar to his 2006 stats.

Fooch: I remain, unfortunately, somewhere in the middle.  I think he has sufficient talent to turn into a quality NFL quarterback.  The last two seasons he was knocked out by injuries and so he never really had a chance to continue a normal progression.  At the same time I don't know if he'll ever be a franchise quarterback for this team.  The upside to his promotion this season is that 49ers fans can finally get some kind of idea of what Smith can bring to the table.  I think the 49ers will finally get their answer by the end of the season and can finally decide whether to fish or cut bait with him.

Preview: 49ers at Green Bay Packers

Photo

by Marcio Jose Sanchez - AP

Despite the big win last week, it would be easy for the Green Bay Packers to suffer a let down. The 49ers have an outstanding defense, and it won't be easy to run the score up against them. If the 49ers can keep the score close, and then come up with a big play or two, they could easily pull off the upset. 

The league rankings, by yardage, from NFL.com:

Team Run Offense Pass Offense Run Defense Pass Defense
Packers 12 11 4 6
49ers 22 25 3 29

Those rankings are fair, except as to the 49ers pass defense. They are not that bad, and are actually one of the better units in the NFL. Their opponents have attempted 338 passes against them, currently tied for 3rd most in the league, but they've only allowed 9 TDs and grabbed 11 INTs. Though their INT stats are inflated by the 5 INTs surrendered by QB Jay Cutler last week. On the other hand, the Packers have 13 INTs on the season and only 4 of those came from Cutler.
