According to Pro Football Talk's rumor mill, the Arizona Cardinals hand picked the 49ers for the home opener in their brand new stadium.
From Pro Football Talk:

Pro Football Talk goes on to assume that the pick of the 49ers was likely because the Cardinals felt that the 49ers were the weakest team on their schedule.
