Gore scores twice as Nedney's late FG leads 49ers past Rams

Football Betting Lines

09/16/2007 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Just days after losing his mother, Frank Gore rushed for a pair of touchdowns to guide the San Francisco 49ers past the St. Louis Rams, 17-16, in an NFC West showdown.

Joe Nedney hit the game-deciding field goal with 3:28 on the clock, and the 49ers (2-0) were able to escape when Jeff Wilkins' 56-yard try came up just short with time winding down.

San Francisco is 2-0 for the first time since 1998.

Gore's mother, Liz, died on Wednesday after battling a lengthy illness. After both of his touchdown runs, the second-year back out of Miami pointed to the sky in tribute. Gore finished with 81 yards on 20 attempts.

Alex Smith was 11-for-17 for 126 yards in a winning cause, and Darrell Jackson hauled in three passes for 61 yards.

Marc Bulger went 24-of-41 for 368 yards with a touchdown for St. Louis (0-2). Isaac Bruce had eight receptions for 145 yards.

Head coach Scott Linehan said that Bulger had sore ribs after being under heavy pressure for much of the game.

Pittsburgh earned their passage to the big game by beating their division rival, the Baltimore Ravens, 23-14 in yesterday's AFC Championship Game. The Steelers jumped on Baltimore early, building a 13-0 first half lead, and never let up on their way to a fairly easy win. Although the Ravens did close to within two points in the fourth quarter, it never appeared as if they had enough offense to pull off the upset.

The Steelers dominating defense held Baltimore to a total of 198 yards while allowing them to convert just three third downs in 13 attempts. Pittsburgh also forced quarterback Joe Flacco into three interceptions, one of which safety Troy Polamalu returned fourty yards for a touchdown.

The Cardinals, by far the playoff team with the longest odds to reach Super Bowl XLIII, did so yesterday with a 32-25 upset of the Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC Championship. Arizona charged out of the gates and built a 24-6 halftime lead that had the Eagles venerable defense reeling. Quarterback Kurt Warner and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald did most of the damage, connecting on three first half touchdowns.

Arizona, however, could not sustain their momentum and the Eagles took a 25-24 with 10:45 left to play in the fourth. The Cardinals, with the franchise's first Super Bowl appearance hanging in the balance, mounted a fourteen play, 72 yard touchdown drive that consumed 7:52 off the clock. Warner hit running back Tim Hightower on a short screen for the go-ahead, game clinching score that will forever live in Cardinal infamy.

Pittsburgh Steelers -6.5 (-110), Over 46.5 (-110), -260 (Money line)
