What is the story about?
The
San Francisco 49ers return home from their season-opening trip to Melbourne looking to build on a 1-0 start when they host the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. San Francisco is riding high after taking down the Los Angeles Rams, and the 49ers will look to continue to build on their early-season success against the lowly Dolphins.
It's about as lopsided a consensus as you'll find in Week 2 — we checked in with seven outlets' expert panels, and 50 of 52 total picks favor the 49ers. Only Bleacher Report's Brad Gagnon was brave enough to take the Dolphins in this matchup.
Here is a roundup of those picks.
