The underdog has championed this NFC West rivalry, and the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers will meet for the second time this season at Levi’s Stadium on Sunday, November 9.
My Rams vs. 49ers same-game parlay and NFL picks are calling for San Fran to cover the number while wide receivers Jauan Jennings and Puka Nacua have big games in Week 10.
Our best Rams vs 49ers SGP for Week 10
The underdog has covered the spread in 13 of the past 14 games between the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers, and I like the trend to continue with so much familiarity between the two teams on and off the field.
This spread is above the key numbers of 3 and 4, and the Niners could have No. 1 quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) back in action.
Purdy returning would be a boon for San Fran wide receiver Jauan Jennings, too. Jennings has seen his yards per target drop to 6.2 after posting a 8.6 mark last year.
So, while the go-to receiver has been limited to 12 receptions for 117 yards on 19 targets the past three weeks, I’m expecting him to have an uptick in production Sunday.
The Niners are going to need to attack through the air to keep pace, and the Rams have allowed 12 wide receivers to rack up 46 or more receiving yards through eight games.
Turning to the final leg of this same-game parlay, Rams star Puka Nacua has topped 90 receiving yards in five of eight games, and even with a bye week and a missed game, he's still fourth in receiving yards (711) and tied for second in receptions (61) for the year.
The Pro Bowler is pacing the NFL in PFF receiving grade and sports an elite 83.6% catch rate while being targeted on 36.9% of his routes, too.
San Francisco has also been beaten through the air this season with ranks of 26th in PFF coverage grade and 25th in pass defense DVOA while also allowing the eighth-highest EPA per dropback and catch percentage to opposing wide receivers.
