Coach Kyle Shanahan met Saturday with his staff in a hotel room in Jersey City to finalize a list of 12 run plays and 12 pass plays to be called early in Sunday’s game against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium.
The return of tight end George Kittle has done wonders for the 49ers run game, and they should look to ride Christian McCaffrey on Sunday against the Giants front.

Bears (-2.5) at Bengals: Audubon High School’s Joe Flacco is dealing with a shoulder injury and seems like a coin flip to suit up Sunday for the Bengals. Even if he doesn’t, you should almost always be rooting for the AFC team here, even if the 4-3 Bears have more Philly flavor on the roster.
