The set-up: Clearly these are two teams that would take a "mulligan" on the season if given the chance. The Giants come out of their bye week looking to avoid a 1-8 start, while the 49ers enter at 2-7. San Francisco won't be going down quietly either, it enter off a confidence building 34-3 win over Oakland. Each team has plenty of issues on both sides of the ball and up and down the line, but from a "situational" stand point, I absolutely feel that this one sets up as a "shoot-out."

The pick: Take it for what you will as well, but New York has seen the total go "over" the number in its last two following its bye week, while San Fran has seen the total go over in five of its last eight as a favorite. This number is low, play the "over."

10* play
