The NFL announced the preseason match-ups on Wednesday with the San Francisco 49ers opening at home against the Chicago Bears.
One of the craziest games the San Francisco 49ers played last year was against Chicago when the Windy City kicked up 47 mph winds that wrecked havoc on the game plans of both teams. The home team edged out the 49ers with a 17-9 defeat. Hopefully this rematch will again go the way of the home team, and maybe the Bay will swirl up a few payback winds for the Bears.
The 49ers then take the road in back-to-back weeks starting with just a short jaunt over to the Oakland Coliseum:devious: in week two to take on their cross town rivals. The Raiders lead the preseason series 17-16. However, the 49ers have won seven-of-the-last nine preseason match-ups including last year’s 21-13 win.
Next up, the 49ers travel to Dallas to take on one of their oldest rivals :devious: and redeem last season’s last minute 34-31 loss in week three. The two teams have a history that spans 45 years with exciting and historic playoff battles. The 49ers hold a 16-14-1 advantage over the Cowboys. They have also faced each other in the playoffs seven times, including six NFC Championship games. In those match-ups, Dallas holds a 4-2 advantage.
The 49ers close out the preseason at home against the San Diego Chargers:devious: . The 49ers and Chargers have met in each of the last 19 years in a preseason meeting, dating back to 1987. The Chargers won last year’s contest 28-24, but during the 19-year stretch, the 49ers hold an 11-8 advantage.
