Rams vs 49ers - What I Want to See

Aside from watching a very exciting intra-division game, that is...

I most likely won't have any money invested in this game. What I'm going to be interested in is seeing which arrival approach benefits their team.

The 49ers arrived a full week ahead of the game to acclimate and adjust to the 16 hour time frame.

Meanwhile, the Rams flew overnight on Tuesday following their final U.S. practice and landed this morning, sticking closely to a short turnaround schedule.

Apparently the Rams have been preparing for this for a long time. They've sent players on a recon mission to see how their body would acclimate and felt confident this was the better approach.

In the end perhaps both teams have found their sweet spot and it'll boil down to talent and coaching.

Either way, I'm excited football is back!

I'm interested in this as well

This seems like an NFL international experiment. "What commitment does it take to play in Australia? Team 1 - You go a week ahead. Team 2 - You go 26 hours prior to kickoff." 

Playing San Fran ML on this angle alone. It took me 2-3 days just to resync after a trip from the Dominican back to the Midwest. 

I don't care if the plane was big enough that they were shooting pool and playing b-ball and maybe even had a bowling alley, to fly halfway around the world then expect to be in form 24 hours later for the 1st game of the season was not prudent.

P.S.

Bolts win the division
