49ers, Rams take opposite approaches to Australia trip

The 49ers have already begun their 16-hour flight to Melbourne, Australia, arriving about 7.5 days before their game against the Rams. The team wants ample time to adjust to Melbourne time after the longest road trip in NFL history.

In contrast, the Rams are reportedly leaving just one day before the game, following a strategy that worked well for them in London last season when they arrived the day before and won convincingly. The Rams believe delaying international travel is the smarter approach, though they're cutting it as close as NFL rules allow for international games. newsbetting.club
