Los Angeles Rams at San Francisco 49ers Preview & Picks

Los Angeles are tipped to cover as a slight underdog on Thursday night.

San Francisco may have ended their losing skid at the weekend but, unlike Chicago, the Rams are not going to quit early in this big divisional clash.

  • Los Angeles Rams are 3-0-0 ATS in the last 3 meetings
  • Los Angeles Rams are 3-0-0 ATS in their last 3 road games
  • San Francisco 49ers are 1-4-0 ATS in their previous 5 games
  • The Over has cashed in each of the previous 4 meetings

Head To Head

  • San Francisco 49ers lead the all-time series 78-70-3
  • Los Angeles Rams won 27-24 when the two teams last met on September 22

Los Angeles Rams Form

Los Angeles go into this short week having won back-to-back games to improve their record to 7-6.

The Rams dug themselves into an early hole as they lost four of their first five games of the season, with their only win being the 27-24 victory over San Francisco.

They kick-started their season in late October as the beat Las Vegas 20-15 and Minnesota 30-20 at home, before heading out on the road to down Seattle in overtime, 26-20.

Los Angeles then rebounded from a 23-15 loss to Miami with a 28-22 victory at New England, only to them lose 37-20 to Philadelphia.

The Rams have not lost since though following up a 21-14 win in New Orleans with a thrilling 44-42 victory over Buffalo last weekend.

San Francisco 49ers Form

San Francisco go into this game on the back of a much-needed win that halted a three-game skid and took their record to 6-7.

The 49ers came into this season with their sights set on another trip to the Super Bowl, but just like Los Angeles they made a slow start.

They lost four of their first seven games of the season, before briefly rallying with a 30-24 win over Dallas and a 23-20 victory in Tampa Bay.

San Francisco failed to build on that though, as they lost 20-17 to Seattle before heading out on the road to lose 38-10 in Green Bay and 35-10 in Buffalo.

The 49ers halted that losing run last Sunday though, as they dominated Chicago from start to finish in a 38-13 win at home.

Verdict

San Francisco needed last weekend’s win, but a win over a Chicago team waving the white flag has not convinced me that the Niners are suddenly back on track.

Los Angeles put on an offensive show at the weekend and have been solid on the road in recent weeks, so we are taking the Rams and the free points.
