Even spotting the points I'll take the Saints

If they score here, it wouldn't be a stretch...If the Niners can somehow stop them from scoring points here, they'll get the ball coming out of the half - and have an opportunity to grab the momentum back.

Edit: I don't know why I thought they were inside the 2 minute warning - The 49'ers have to come back and score here...They've taken advantage of opportunities deep in the Saints territory. Now they have to prove they can start with a long field and score on this defense.

I'm not impressed with the play calling by the 49'ers. Awful call on that 3rd down. Why throw it a yard before the sticks? They gave themselves almost no chance to pick up the first down.

SF better hold them to a fg here, can't let the saints come into the second half with the momentum of taking the lead.
 
I don't consider SF winning to be an upset ... I also can't figure out how they are 3.5 pt underdogs ... 13-3 and hosting the game at home where they are 7-1? ... and the Saints having never won a playoff game on the road?
 
Five turnovers and not even close to putting the Saints away
Let them hang close and I like the Saints in the clutch
Niners have to separate if they want to win IMO

Saints defense playing well
Niners best play is turnovers and punts
 
If you're a Niners fan, you have to be extremely uncomfortable. 5 turnovers - FIVE - and the Saints are down by less than a TD. Field goals are going to kill San Francisco.
