I'm struggling with Hill this week. First instinct is SF is a great match-up, but they do seem to play better defense at home. In 6 home games this year, they have held RB's to 136-484-3, for a 3.6ypc. Granted, that is against Min, GB, Bal, Sea, Atl, and Ari... of which you would probably only consider 2 to be good running teams. So, you have numbers that look great, but against middling competition. It's also hard to ignore that they were just eviscerated by Cle on the ground, and Chicago before that, but on the road.
Insert Hill, who you would think Cincy is going to want to come up big this week to keep the pressure off of McCarron... but do you believe he can get it done? I am back and forth on Hill/Bernard this week, my gut says they will once again try to establish Hill, hoping to grind this out. Taking in to account the SF home splits, combined with Hill's awful season, makes it incredibly hard to trust him in what will be the biggest week of the year so far for most us.
