Los Angeles Rams vs San Francisco 49ers Game Preview

Why Los Angeles Rams Will Win

Think of it this way. The Rams have underwhelmed and sleepwalked through the first part of the season, and they’re 2-1.

The defense has been more than fine. It struggled against Atlanta, and Buffalo went Buffalo in a jacked up opener, but it’s good enough against the run, it’s forcing takeaways, and it won’t have to do anything all that special against the middling 49er offense.

The passing yards aren’t there – San Francisco has yet to hit the 200-yard mark through the air – and the Rams aren’t going to give up enough on the ground to matter.

Why San Francisco 49ers Will Win

Different year, changed teams, but the 49ers had the Rams in the regular season of last year – right up until one fateful final drive in the NFC Championship.

The defense is still tremendous – it’s No. 1 in the NFL against the pass – it’s great on third downs, and it’s second overall in total defense and third in scoring defense.

All Jimmy Garoppolo has to do is hit his third down throws, don’t turn the ball over, and hope the ground game – in whatever form shows up – can be just enough to make this a fight.

The Rams won’t run well, so …

What’s Going To Happen

Is this when San Francisco figures out something funky?

This is a banged up team that’s missing the offensive parts to keep up, but the Rams are making too many mistakes, the ground game isn’t there, and Matthew Stafford has been just okay.

It’ll be a low scoring and strange Monday night game with the 49er defense taking over.

Garoppolo will be just good enough.

Why Los Angeles Rams Will Win

Get up fast, let the D take over. The offense gets most of the attention, but the defense continues to be fantastic. The secondary isn’t allowing much of anything – it’s second in the NFL in yards allowed – and it’s fantastic at coming up with third down stops. Against San Francisco, though, you have to stop the run first – the Rams are coming off a brilliant game allowing just 38 rushing yards to the Washington Football Team.

Why San Francisco 49ers Will Win

The 49er defense is coming off a disaster against Miami, but it’s still too good to have two performances like those in a row. The pass defense has been outstanding, the third down D is great, and everything is fine as long as the team doesn’t get biffed in the turnover battle – it’s -5 over the last two games. The Ram defense might be great, but it’s not taking the ball away over the last few weeks.

Fantasy Football Player To Watch

RB Raheem Mostert, San Francisco
Mostert may be the fastest RB in the NFL, but he also translates that speed into power. He managed 90 rushing yards against the Dolphins on only 11 carries last week in his first game back from a knee injury. If the game script had not gotten away from the 49ers, he could have doubled that yardage. If you care about big plays, he’s your back.

What’s Going To Happen

How much do you trust the San Francisco quarterback situation? How much do you believe the Jimmy Garappolo issues against Miami are over? Thought so.

The 49ers will play better than they did last week, and it still won’t be enough against a Ram team that will be just balanced enough to control the tempo of the game throughout.
