49ers 1H spread -1.5 -105
It’s funny to say this after what we saw last week, but the Rams have come out of the gate slowly this season. Sure, they scored 24 points in the first half last week, but that hasn’t been the case over the course of the season. Overall, they’ve averaged just 8.8 points and only 4.8 on the road. Because of this, the Rams are just 5-8 ATS in the first half. If you blindly bet the Rams 1H throughout the year, you’d be down over four units.
On the other side, we have the 49ers, who have gone 7-6 ATS on the 1H spread. Even with all the injuries they’re dealing with, they still hung 38 points on the Bears last week in a commanding win. Even these teams met up earlier in the year, Jauan Jennings went for 175 yards on 11 catches with three touchdowns. He’ll have an opportunity to have a big game once again with all the injuries on offense.

George Kittle anytime touchdown scorer +115
Kittle hasn’t scored in the last two games, but he continues to be the primary target in the red zone. Kittle has amassed a 28% red zone target share, which is the best on the team. In the red zone, he leads the league with 113 yards and five ROE. The Rams have been very generous to opposing tight ends, allowing a 75% catch rate and four touchdowns. Kittle was not active when these two teams met up earlier in the season, but I’d expect him to build off his massive six catch, 151 yard game from last week. Currently, his +115 odds are the best on the board for any receiver in this game.
Leonard Floyd over 0.25 sacks +125
When these teams met in Week 3, Stafford was under pressure on 46% of his dropbacks. It was the highest of the season and one of the most successful games for the Niners pass rush. This week shouldn’t be much different with the Niners getting pressure on Stafford. The Rams offensive line is coming off a good week against the Bills, allowing just seven pressures and no sacks on 30 pass plays. However, this O-Line has not been a strength this season and the Niners will be able to disrupt it.
Floyd, specifically, has been playing extremely well since Nick Bosa was injured. It’s looking as if he’ll miss this game, continuing his absence since Week 11. Over that span, Floyd has generated 13 pressures and six sacks against the Seahawks, Packers, Bills and Bears.
