I’m a pretty dismal person and I don’t believe that dreams can come true. With that being said, my dream last night was so vividly horrible and foreboding, that I’m completely changing my approach to Monday night’s San Francisco–Arizona game.
I was prepared to jump on the Cardinals giving away 9.5 to the sorry 49ers. It looked pretty simple. Then my subconscious took me to a very bad place.
Without getting into too much detail, I dreamed that I became caught up in some huge government murder conspiracy. I was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and was setup to be their fall guy. I was taken to a back room where intimidating guys in suits told me that I would do what they say or my family would be hurt.
They then began to iron out the details and planting evidence. For some ungodly reason, this involved me killing a dog. It was a big beautiful dog. Being a huge animal lover, I refused. That was when they reminded me of my family. I was barreled in.
I began to hit the dog’s head on a table. I felt sick. The dog would not die. I tried to finish it as quickly as possible but nothing that I did would end this miserable moment. Even the government officials began to beg me to stop, that they had seen enough. But I yelled that it was still alive.
Then I woke up. The dream was still quite fresh in my mind. My very next thought was “That dog would not die. Oh my God, San Fran is going to cover!”
Welcome to my world. It’s not a very pretty place.
Let’s look at some facts and figures to see if I can get back on track here.
At the NFL’s midway point, the Cardinals lead the NFC West with a 5-3 record by three games. They are hoping to achieve their first division title in 33 years. To put that in perspective, SBR poster Patty Venditto wouldn’t become a gleam in his daddy’s eyes for another 13 years. But then again, Patty wasn’t around for Live Aid either.
Much has changed for the Niners since Arizona beat them at home in Week One 23-13. Coach Mike Nolan was fired after seven weeks, and replaced by Mike Singletary on an interim basis. One of the first moves that Singletary made was to bench quarterback J.T. O’Sullivan for Shaun Hill. I’m thinking unless Steve Young makes a return, nothing is going to change around their 2-6 start.
Melinda would be their defensive MVP
Arizona has won five consecutive home games, and covered in their last four. They are 4-0 ATS in their last four overall games. The 49ers, on the other hand, are 0-5 in their last five games, and 2-8 ATS in their last 10 road games. Math doesn’t have an opinion.
Arizona leads the league in scoring, posting 29.3 pts per game. San Fran has the third worse scoring D, allowing 28.8 ppg. It could be a field day for Kurt Warner, Anquan Boldin, Larry Fitzgerald and company. The lone offensive threat for the Niners is running back Frank Gore. Unfortunately for him, Arizona has only allowed one 100+ yard running back all year.
OK I’m sold again. This game should be a rout. Like I said before, dreams do not come true, and that dog will die. Nine and a half points be damned.
