For the third time this season, the Rams and 49ers will play. San Francisco has dominated this matchup this year, winning both games. However, the stakes are much different this time. It's more than just pride or a division title. A trip to the Super Bowl is on the line.

Verdict

I've picked the Rams to cover several times this week and I'm not going to waver from it now. The Rams offense has put up 30 points in back-to-back games and I don't see the 49ers being able to slow them down this time. If the Rams can get all of their playmakers going (i.e. Odell Beckham Jr. and Cam Akers), it will be a long afternoon for the 49ers.
