This is an 8* BLOCKBUSTER on the San Francisco 49ers.

The 49ers have yet to score a single point in the preseason after two games, but suffice it to say, I fully expect that to change this weekend. San Fran suffered a 34-0 beatdown at the hands of the Broncos last week, RB Frank Gore saw his first action and rushed for 12 yards on two carries. The leading passer was McCleod Bethel-Thompson, who was 6 of 8 for 79 yards. "It's the preseason, but it all means something," said San Francisco left tackle Joe Staley afterwards. "Scoring points is the name of the game and we haven't done it. It will be a real test this week to see how we rebound from this." After a decent start to the 2014 campaign, San Diego took a step back in losing 41-14 in Seattle last week, QB Philip Rivers played just a single series, was just 2 of 4 for 20 yards, while his backup Kellen Clemens finished 14 of 21 for 149 yards and two major scores. Week 3 means that both teams will be playing their starters for the majority of the contest, for the most part it's just been the backups and wannabe's for San Francisco thus far, but with the first team units getting an extended chance, I look for the winless home side to find a way to get the job done at the end of the night; play on the 49'ERS!
