Coach Talk

49erFaithful
Hey, finding mismatches is the key to football, right? Case in point: we really took that to heart by doubling up Superman's Team at running back this past week (28.45 points to 13.8).
Superman's Team
This matchup was just a bit too spooky, Superman's Team! It turned out that O.J. Howard, Stephen Gostkowski, and Cam Newton felt like ghosting on your team, while 49erFaithful played the role of Boogeyman. All tricks and no treats!
