The San Francisco 49ers open their home schedule with its first of two Thursday night games this season, hosting the 1-1 New York Giants. Both teams are coming off of wins against NFC West opponents, the 49ers defeating the Los Angeles Rams and the Giants needing a comeback to beat the Arizona Cardinals. The G-Men trailed Arizona 28-7 before scoring 24 consecutive points in the game’s final 20 minutes to win 31-28.
Thursday night games can be tricky, but the 49ers will be safe if it goes up 21 against the Giants.
