The 49ers return home to face the Miami Dolphins, in a game that splits up four road games. The 49ers will travel to face the Patriots and Seahawks the next two weeks. While the Dolphins are no push-over, this is a must-win game for the 49ers. San Francisco has the edge of Seattle in the NFC West, and Green Bay and Chicago in the battle for a first round bye, but with a tough couple games approaching, a win on Sunday would buy some breathing room.
The 49ers face a Dolphins squad that has been inconsistent, although they are showing signs of progress. They will be without left tackle Jake Long, which creates a significant opportunity for the Smith Brothers. Aldon Smith continues his pursuit of Michael Strahan's single-season sack record. Aldon has 17.5 sacks and needs five more to tie Strahan.
In case you missed it the last couple days, I answered some 49ers-Dolphins questions over at The Phinsider, and Kevin Nogle provided some details on the Dolphins offense and defense.

49ers vs. Dolphins Odds
The 49ers enter Sunday's game as ten point favorites. I don't think a lot of gamblers will jump on an NFL favorite with a double digit spread given how unpredictable NFL games can be. If the 49ers can develop the pass rush sufficiently, and the offense can gain some consistency, this is a cover-able spread.
