It’s Thursday Night Football in the NFC West as the San Francisco 49ers head to Los Angeles to take on the Rams (-5.5) in what should be an entertaining divisional clash. The Rams enter as one of the league’s hottest offenses, ranking top five in total yards per game, while San Francisco faces questions under center with Brock Purdy battling toe soreness on a short week.
Total Pick: Over 47
This total is set at 47, and recent history points toward points.
-
The OVER has hit in 5 of San Francisco’s last 7 games.
-
The OVER is 4-1 in the last 5 matchups in Los Angeles.
-
The Rams’ offense has been rolling, moving the ball efficiently and finishing drives.
San Francisco’s offense has been inconsistent, but they’re capable of hitting big plays, and divisional games between these two often turn into shootouts. With both defenses allowing over 265 yards per game, the slight edge goes to the Over 47 (Medium confidence).
Side Pick: Rams -5.5 (Top Play of the Night)
The Rams have been excellent against the number, going 6-1 ATS in their last 7 overall and 5-1 ATS at home. They’ve also won 9 of their last 12 games straight up, and their offense has been one of the league’s most efficient on third downs.
San Francisco, on the other hand, has struggled to cover spreads, going just 3-10 ATS in their last 13 games, and they’re 1-4 ATS in their last five against the Rams. Add in Purdy’s injury and the road factor, and this is a tough spot for the 49ers.
Picks:
-
Total: Over 47 – Medium confidence
-
Side: Rams -5.5 – Medium-High confidence (Top Play of the Night)
The Rams have the edge in health, execution, and offensive consistency. Expect them to control the tempo and pull away late in front of their home crowd.
