00:00 The hard part is I think their defense is what's going to cause them the problems.

00:07 And so I don't know that their offense can dictate the score.

00:10 Yeah, of course, if you're on the road and you're an underdog, my opinion is you always

00:14 want to increase the variance of the game by reducing the play volume.

00:18 And so you want to slow things down a little bit.

00:20 You want to try to steal an extra possession.

00:23 And you want to try to keep this game within that one score margin.

00:27 The problem is if the 49ers are having success in scoring the ball when they have it, it's

00:33 going to force your offense to come out of that trail mode and turn into this chase mode

00:37 or that mode where you can play whatever you want offensively.

00:41 So I think it is going to be a challenge.

00:43 I do think they have opportunities to win this game no matter what the game state is.

00:47 Obviously, though, if it's a lower scoring game, it's going to allow them to have the

00:51 opportunity with just one possession, one interception from Purdy, one fumble.

00:57 Could make the difference.

00:58 One fake punt that's successful could make the difference here.

01:00 So you would prefer a lower scoring game for sure.
