San Francisco at Los Angeles Rams Game Preview
Why San Francisco Will Win
Win and get in.
New Orleans needs to win and it’ll be hoping for a San Francisco loss, but the 49ers can take care of things all on its own.
Jimmy Garoppolo is expected to give it a go with a thumb injury, almost all of the parts for the running game are fine, and now it’s time to try pounding away.

San Francisco needs this more, though. The Rams should be okay no matter what, but the Niners need to solidify their playoff world.
It’s a long-winded way of saying both teams are going to try.
At home, Los Angeles will mark up for the earlier loss with a big defensive performance and a decent day – not amazing – from Stafford.
