At 6:30 on FOX, one of the NFL's nastiest rivalries will be renewed. The last time the 49ers played at Seattle, the Seahawks blew them out 29-3. But last month the 49ers won at home 19-17, so with Michael Crabtree in the lineup, they have a chance to win today. (He had a torn Achilles tendon during the first meeting.)

 

While the early game is full of subplots, this game has only two: the NFC West rivalry and Seattle's #40 FB Derrick Coleman. I will be as interested in Coleman as who the winner is and hope his Duracell commercial will be shown during the game.

 

If the Broncos win, I will root for the 49ers. If the Patriots win, I will root for the Seahawks. Either way, I will root for Coleman.
