  • For the first time in several seasons, there is reason to be optimistic for San Francisco 49ers fans. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo looks like a revelation and remains undefeated as a starter in The Bay, as the 49ers are 4-0 SU and 3-1 ATS with the signal-caller under center. The 49ers could very well make that five consecutive victories when they visit the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

    Shark Bites
    • The 49ers are 3-1 SU and 4-0 ATS in their last 4 games against the Rams.
    • The 49ers are 0-9 SU and 0-8-1 ATS in their last 9 games on the road against teams with winning records.
    • The Rams are 6-0 SU and 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as favorite.

    Normally, the Rams would be massive favorites in this matchup but with their place in the playoffs locked up, coach Sean McVay has alluded to benching several starters. The Rams’ offensive line is the only group to start all five of the same players in every game this season, something that will likely change in order to keep the unit fresh for the playoffs. If Andrew Whitworth is on the bench – which seems likely – then you should expect Jared Goff and Todd Gurley to be doing the same.

    The 49ers are coming off their most impressive performance of the season, as they torched the best defense in the NFL for 44 points – including 21 in the fourth quarter. During San Fran’s four-game winning streak, they are sixth in the league in scoring and yards per game while also sitting second in time of possession. A red-hot 49ers offense could continue to add to those numbers against a group of backups.  

    Sportsbook Odds & Computer Pick

    The Los Angeles Rams were listed as 6.5-point favorites at Sportsbook and other online sportsbooks, with the total listed at one point at 35.
