It’s late Saturday morning. I had a good sleep after covering the Warriors last night. I’m about to dash out of the house to buy the Christmas tree. I never thought I’d celebrate Christmas but I do along with Hanukkah. We buy the biggest tree we can find. We call it the The King of the Forest. Before I leave the house I will leave you with a question.

Who will win tomorrow’s Niner/Seahawks game? Please give reasons with your answer.

I think the 49ers will win — always a risky stance. I believe — sure expect — the 49ers to open up their offense for Alex Smith, lots of spread, lots of passing. If they don’t do that, I’ll be amazed and appalled. I think the Seahawks stink and I believe the Niners will steamroll them on offense and contain them on defense and keep their “playoff hopes” alive.

I’m eager to hear your opinions.
