Rams vs. 49ers Betting Odds and Free Pick

Week three of the NFL and the Los Angeles Rams fly home to host the reigning runners-up, the San Francisco 49ers, in a key matchup in the NFC West.

The Rams have lost both games this season, but now, with the support of their fans, they hope to achieve victory.

The 49ers are coming off a loss to the Minnesota Vikings in their first outing as visitors, something they hope not to repeat.

Why Bet on the Los Angeles Rams?

It has not been a good start for the Los Angeles Rams. They lost in their first game to the Detroit Lions 26-20 in overtime, after they tied the match with 17 seconds left thanks to a field goal. And last weekend, they were crushed by the Arizona Cardinals 41-10, one of their division rivals.

Last year, the Rams made the playoffs, where they lost in the first game to the Lions. The goal this year is to top that. But for that, Matthew Stafford has to get better (and his defense, which allows him to get hit a lot). The quarterback has only thrown one touchdown pass so far this season and that was to Cooper Kupp, who was hurt in the last game and, while it’s not known how long he’ll be out, he won’t be in this weekend.

It is expected that, after this injury, added to that of Puka Nacua, rookie Jordan Whittington, chosen in this year’s Draft and who comes from the Texas Longhorns, will become an important piece after an outstanding preseason.

Kyren Williams continues to prove that he is one of the most important players on the team, scoring two of the three touchdowns they have, but they know he cannot do it alone.

For this Sunday, offensive lineman Alaris Jackson, who was suspended for the first two games, will be available.

This will be the Opening Day at SoFi Stadium and the Rams hope this will motivate them to achieve the first victory of the season in front of their fans.

Why Bet on the San Francisco 49ers?

Some ups and downs for the San Francisco 49ers. They won their opener against the New York Jets by 32-19, but then lost when visiting the Minnesota Vikings by 23-17.

In the last game, Brock Purdy went 28 of 36 pass completions with 319 yards through the air and a touchdown, plus 12 yards on the ground on two runs. Standouts include Jordan Mason with his 20 rushing attempts, 100 yards, and a touchdown, and Deebo Samuel with 110 yards on his eight receptions.

The 49ers will have two key losses. One is running back Christian McCaffrey. The 2023 Offensive Player of the Year is suffering from a sore calf and Achilles tendon that has sidelined him since the preseason.

The other is tight end George Kittle, who already has a touchdown this season, although he is still a doubt after not practicing on Thursday due to hamstring discomfort. Likewise, Charvarius Ward and Nick Bosa are also doubts, although the latter did practice but with difficulty.

Final Betting Analysis: Rams vs. 49ers

The last time they played was on January 7 of this year and the Rams won 20-21, while the last time they played in Los Angeles, it was the 49ers who won 23-30. During the regular season, San Francisco won nine of the previous ten games.

The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have the 49ers as the favorites. Their Moneyline shows 1.333 and the Rams have 3.4.

It will be a very important duel for both teams that share the NFC West and do not get along very well. Although both have important losses, we believe that the 49ers come into this game better and with serious aspirations to fight for the Super Bowl again, so they will be the winners. We’ll go for a victory for the visitors and the UNDER.

Go for a win for the 49ers. If you bet $100 at 1.333, you will gain $33 for a total payout of $133.
