00:02 >> The San Francisco 49ers, Vinny,
00:04 are far superior to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
00:07 >> But.
00:08 >> Point spread says San Francisco minus two and a half, total of 41 and a half.
00:14 So am I gonna be the sucker here, Vinny,
00:17 that takes the 49ers to just win two and a half on the road?
00:20 I don't know, I've seen this story before, feels like the 49ers win and
00:24 win big, and then the Steelers pull off the upset.
00:27 What do you got for this one?
00:29 >> Well, I think this is a little bit of a reflection of the 49ers not always
00:33 starting the best.
00:34 Remember last year, the disaster in Chicago, but
00:36 there was a lot of weather involved in that game.
00:38 And Trey Lance and the mess there, breaking a new quarterback.
00:41 They are comfortable with Brock pretty.
00:43 They didn't have Christian McCaffrey also at the start of last season.
00:46 So they're a lot healthier going in.
00:49 They've got a lot of weapons here.
00:51 The Steelers defense, just enough holes here.
00:54 I mean, they're trying to revamp linebacker, the secondary, and
00:57 then their offensive line still not ready for Broderick Jones on the left side.
01:01 So you think just the key defensive pieces for
01:04 the 49ers have a little bit more success in this game than the Steelers do.
01:07 And I think also Kyle Shannon can scheme around those holes that are there.
01:12 And if some guys are bottled up, he can go that direction.
01:14 Where you look at Matt Canada, not necessarily the best track record in this
01:19 whole environment with the skill players he has.
01:21 So again, I think the experience of the 49ers also counts.
01:25 I know your two secondary quarterbacks are on the field.
01:28 But overall, the 49ers in this type of situation,
01:30 they usually travel well to the East Coast,
01:33 especially to open the season here with Kyle Shannon.
01:36 So I like the 49ers winning by a field goal.
01:38 You just get a little nervous though.
01:40 Hopefully the rookie kicker, if he can be healthier,
01:42 Jake Moody can win the game by a field goal here for them.
01:46 So it is a little bit of trap feeling, but
01:48 I think it's already been accounted for with the two and a half.
