NFL Thursday Blowout
(NFL) Rams (LAR) vs. 49ers (SF),
Point Spread: 3.00 | -112.00 Rams (LAR) (Away)
Result: Win
#451 ASA PLAY ON LA Rams +3 over San Francisco 49ers, Thursday at 8:20 PM ET - The Rams record (6-6) is a bit misleading in our opinion. They had tons of injuries early in the season including both of their top WR’s were out and lots of mixing and matching on the offensive line due to guys being out. Over the last few months this team has gotten healthy and they have become a dangerous team winning 6 of their last 8 games. Rams head coach McVay always has his teams playing well late in the season with a spread record of 13-2 ATS their last 15 December games. While the Rams are healthy, the Niners continue with their injury problems on both sides of the ball. On defense they have 8 guys either out or questionable in the 2 deep, RB McCaffrey remains out and his back up is now banged up, and the offensive line has some question marks. After losing 3 in a row, San Fran finally got a win last week at home vs the Bears, however Chicago is a free fall and was coming off 3 huge division losses and looked like they were out of gas. Just a huge game for LA who currently sits 1 spot out of the playoffs in the 8th position and a win here improves their chances to 50-50 to make the post-season. SF has only a 5% chance to make the playoffs and while they haven’t been officially eliminated, for all intents and purposes they are out. Thursday night games can be a benefit to the home team if their opponent has to make a long trip but this 1 hour flight for LA shouldn’t affect them negatively in any way. Take the points on Thursday night.
