49ers vs Rams Pick, Prediction

Action Network NFL betting expert Brandon Anderson offers this prediction:

The Niners have dominated this division rivalry, winning eight of the last nine, and Kyle Shanahan is 10-3 ATS (77%) lifetime against Sean McVay. The 49ers are now 7-0 in regular season Brock Purdy games, with five of those wins by at least 16 points. Purdy has thrown at least two touchdowns in all seven games.

As good as the 49ers are, the Rams have the best player on both sides of the ball. If LA has any chance to hang, it has to be because Matt Stafford had a great game against these beatable corners. This number is way too low. Stafford has gone over 224.5 passing yards in 23 of 27 games with the Rams (85%), with three of the four misses his final three games last season before missing the second half to injury.

If you really believe in the Rams and think they can win this game, you have to go all-in and bet LA to win the NFC West (+1100). A win here puts them 2-0 with head-to-head wins against both competitors.
