6 Bold Predictions for San Francisco 49ers' Week 5 Matchup

Heres a bold prediction: The San Francisco 49erswill primarily use a spread offense against the New York Giants in Week 5.We made some major changes, Niners offensive coordinator Geep Chryst said Wednesday morning, but I cant go and then he corrected himself. I shouldnt say major. We made some changes, some adjustments that we feel good about going into this game.Chryst wouldnt say what adjustments he made. Id rather tell you next week what we did do, than forecast what may or may not happen, he said.Heres the forecast: The first four weeks of the season, Chrysts offense revolved around tight ends. Expect that to end. Vernon Davis is dealing with an injured knee, Vance McDonald is a bust, and Garrett Celek is just a guy. This is not the group to build an offense around. I think Chryst gets that now.Expect No. 3 receiver Bruce Ellington to play more than McDonald or Celek in Week 5, and expect the Niners to try to run the ball against the Giants defensive sub-packages.Here are five more bold prediction for Week 5.Begin Slideshow
