The 49ers welcome the Cleveland Browns to town and the 49ers face a game where they are significant favorites. The 49ers were expected to win their opener against Seattle, but this is the first game where they are also truly significant favorites. I would argue that a 49ers victory would be a sizable confidence booster for the team. Yes they are expected to win, but there is something to be said for handling your business exactly as expected.
Simply put, the 49ers will be best served taking an early lead and taking away any chance for Cleveland to gain momentum. That might seem fairly obvious, but it is still a key to this game. Time to take care of business.
GO NINERS!
