The Review-Journal’s Matt Youmans, Las Vegas handicapper Dave Cokin and Golden Nugget sports book director Tony Miller preview the 49ers’ season in the fourth of a series of 32 NFL team videos:

Colin Kaepernick, a talented quarterback who lost confidence last year, could be primed for a big comeback.
Why is San Francisco a 2-point home underdog against the Los Angeles Rams in the Sept. 12 season opener?
Over or Under 5½ regular-season wins?
