I agree that the 49ers will try to control this game with ball control because that's their style but even with Kaepernick in there I think they are pooched if Green Bay gets a two score lead. 49ers just can't play from behind. I could totally see them getting an early lead and hanging on though, which is why I still am not touching this game.

I hear you. I'm not down-playing the affects that Smith's presence. I'm just saying they will be pumped and stand a better chance at home. They will also have the crowd on their side, making it harder for GB's offense.
