49ers play in Houston against the Texans at 1:00 ET this Sunday, October 25th.

This game looks like it'll be a fun one for a couple of reasons...

1. Michael Crabtree will finally make his rookie debut after a long and painful holdout pushed his finished contract to their bye week during week 6.

Now he can finally prove why he thinks he deserves Hayward-Bey money!

How will he do with all the attention surrouding his arrival and holdout?

2. Matt Schaub's brilliance. Since a poor week one performance, he's been the best QB in the league. He has 1,810 yards (2nd in NFL) and 14 TD's (1st in NFL) coming into the game, with only 5 pics.

The number one fanstasy scorer of the year to date, will have his hands full with a frisky and hard-nosed 49er defense that ranks 14th in total yards allowed.

Will he keep the incredible season going, and make his fantasy owners keep walkin' on sunshine?

My prediction... Houston wins 24-17

Its hard to believe Crabtree will make that big of a diff in his first game.
Schaub is looking good lately.
I will give it to the Texans also.
21-10

Yeah... I think he'll be a great receiver someday, just not this sunday... maybe 3 catches for 20-30 yards.

Alex Smith replaces Shaun Hill as quarterback and the 49ers rally but Texans hold on for a 24-21 win.
Crabtree had 5 reception for 65 yards.
Not bad for his first time. He surprised me.

24-21 is pretty close to 24-17... man I am impressive!
