TEAMS: Arizona Cardinals, San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers completely shut down the Cardinals, 26-0 last weekend. They beat the Cardinals 23-7 in San Francisco just three weeks ago. That was the only game the Cardinals have lot in their last five games and they will have Kevin Kolb under center this weekend. Here is a look at the matchups in this game:
When the 49ers have the ball: The 49ers will likely go with the conservative approach as they ran the ball 42 times in the first meeting between these two teams. The Cardinals are giving up 119.4 yards rushing per game and 4.0 yards per carry, so Frank Gore should have a good game this Sunday. Look for Kendall Hunter to also be involved in the running attack this weekend in an attempt to keep Gore healthy. Alex Smith should have time to throw the ball this weekend, so look for him to continue to target WRs Michael Crabtree, Kyle Williams and Ted Ginn down the field. The Cardinals are giving up 251.1 yards passing per game, so the Niners should be o.k. this weekend when throw...

Cardinals Injury Report
QB Kevin Kolb had soreness in his right foot after playing for the first time in a month, RB Beanie Wells is still limited by a sore right knee and more inside.
Arizona Cardinals (5-7) vs. San Francisco 49ers (10-2)
The Cardinals lost 23-7 in San Francisco just three weeks ago, but, they have won four of their last five games. The Cardinals will be starting Kevin Kolb at QB instead of John Skelton this time around against the Niners, so I expect a much different football game. The 49ers dumped the hapless Rams in San Francisco last weekend, 26-0. Here is a look at the matchups in this...
Jim Harbaugh is Cheerleader of the Year
Jim Harbaugh is a good bet to be named NFL Coach of the Year, but he's also a shoo-in for an even more important (although mythical) award - Cheerleader of the Year.
Harbaugh wrapped up the latter award last week with his impassioned plea for a Frank Gore statue.
"He's not normal!" Harbaugh...
