AP file photo: San Francisco 49ers head coach Chip Kelly shows the team how to sling a football in camp on July 31st photo as he and the Niners gets set to meet the Los Angeles Rams for the first time since 1994 the Rams play as a team from L.A.

On the podcast with Joe, the Los Angeles Rams who open the season with the San Francisco 49ers are two point favorites which is a little bit unusual for a home opener for a team whose been struggling but it kind of shows where people think the Niners are this season. The 49ers schedule does not get any easier after Monday Night’s opener.

After the Rams they have the Carolina Panthers defending NFC Champs, the Seattle Seahawks, the Arizona Cardinals, and the Dallas Cowboys. This is pretty much a must win game for the 49ers on Monday night for the 49ers if they don’t want their season to go to hell right off the bat.
