Rams at 49ers: Odds, betting lines, picks and prediction
Prediction
Rams 30, 49ers 23
Money line (?)
The Rams look really good on the money line in this one at only -162. It’s not even money, but this is certainly a game the Rams should win outright. The 49ers have been ravaged by injuries and have questions at quarterback. Meanwhile, the Rams defense is coming off its best performance of the season.
Take the RAMS (-162) to win straight up Sunday night, keeping their winning streak going.
Against the spread (?)
As 3-point favorites, the oddsmakers aren’t too high on the Rams. Three points really aren’t much for them to cover, and in each of their four wins so far, all have been by three or more points.
The Rams are 3-2 ATS this season, including 2-1 on the road. The 49ers are 0-3 ATS at home this year, further making this a favorable matchup for L.A. Take the RAMS -3 (-110) to cover.
Over/Under (?)
The Over/Under is a little tougher to predict because of the volatility that comes with the 49ers offense. They scored 31 and 36 points against the New York Jets and New York Giants, respectively, but haven’t topped 20 points in any of their other three games.
The Rams have been consistent offensively, scoring 30 points in three of their five games, and against San Francisco’s vulnerable defense, they could do so again. Bet the OVER 51.5 (-110) in this matchup.
