People look at how SF has struggled in SEA but those Hawks teams were much different. They don't have the offence to blow teams out. Their weaker on D and the coaching staff is nowhere near as good with Bevell calling awful plays and their new D coordinator who looks lost.
Gabbert is no stud and I don't expect them to put up big points but if they can grind it out and cause a few turnovers on D, 13-17 pts will be enough. Hawks are in full panic mode and this won't be a cakewalk. Every so called expert has the Hawks in this game to win straight up so a small dabble on sf ml won't hurt ($25-50 max)
