The San Francisco 49ers sit at 4-6 on the season as they are losers of 5 of their past 6 games. The team is coming off a 30-24 road loss at Green Bay last week. Aaron Rodgers and the Packers passing offense torched the 49ers defense for 158 yards on the ground and 326 through the air. The San Francisco secondary has allowed 300 or more yards of passing in 3 of their past 4 games. Their only win during this period was a 10-6 home victory over the Chicago Bears but they benefited from the +4 turnover margin and could not score more than 10 points the entire game. The San Francisco 49ers offense has sputtered as Alex Smith is leading the team as starting quarterback. The five-year pro is hitting on 61% of his passes with 9 touchdowns but 7 interceptions. He is coming off a poor game against Green Bay where he only completed 48% of his passes. Running back Frank Gore is averaging 8.4 yards a carry on the season with 6 rushing touchdowns. The Jaguars make the long road trip out west with a 6-4 record on the season and are winners of three straight games. The team is coming off an 18-15 home win against the Buffalo Bills. Quarterback David Garrard is coming off a nice 21 of 30 passing performance last week with 215 yards, a touchdown and a pick in victory. Garrard is hitting on 61.8% of his passes this season with 8 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. Garrard will be passing on a struggling secondary and Mike Sims-Walker has emerged as the leading receiver for the Jaguars with 47 catches for 14.8 yards per reception average. On the ground Maurice Jones-Drew has 926 yards rushing on the season in 194 carries for an impressive 4.8 yards a carry average. Garrard is also a threat on his feet as the signal caller has the ability to rush on third down situations to move the sticks. The Jaguars like the 49ers struggle in pass defense. The Jaguars allow 244 yards passing per game and a high 11 yards per completion against average.
