Football Betting Lines

09/16/2007 - St. Louis, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Just days after losing his mother, Frank Gore rushed for a pair of touchdowns to guide the San Francisco 49ers past the St. Louis Rams, 17-16, in an NFC West showdown.

Joe Nedney hit the game-deciding field goal with 3:28 on the clock, and the 49ers (2-0) were able to escape when Jeff Wilkins' 56-yard try came up just short with time winding down.

San Francisco is 2-0 for the first time since 1998.

Gore's mother, Liz, died on Wednesday after battling a lengthy illness. After both of his touchdown runs, the second-year back out of Miami pointed to the sky in tribute. Gore finished with 81 yards on 20 attempts.

Alex Smith was 11-for-17 for 126 yards in a winning cause, and Darrell Jackson hauled in three passes for 61 yards.

Marc Bulger went 24-of-41 for 368 yards with a touchdown for St. Louis (0-2). Isaac Bruce had eight receptions for 145 yards.

Head coach Scott Linehan said that Bulger had sore ribs after being under heavy pressure for much of the game.
