Key match up
49ers RB Frank Gore versus Vikings D.
49ers QB Alex Smith is developing nicely. But he'll be without his best offensive weapon, rookie TE Vernon Davis, and his receivers are pretty unimpressive, although Antonio Bryant does average a surprising 18.2 yards per catch.
But it is Gore that makes the 49ers offense go. He's fifth in the NFL in rushing, with 631 yards and three touchdowns, but he also has 26 catches for 211 yards, which places him sixth in the NFL in yards from scrimmage.
He's not a blazer. But he's versatile, and he's explosive enough.
The Vikings want to limit him, and pressure the young Smith, who is apt to make errors.
