Total: 44.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
Total: 44.50 | -110.00 Over
Result: Win
Given the low quality of these two offenses, this total is too high.
San Francisco finished last in points in 2015 averaging fewer than 15 points per game. The Rams were 29th in points putting up less than 18 per game.
The Rams are a conservative, ground emphasis team that has a bottom-five passing attack.
The total is higher than it should be because Chip Kelly now coaches the 49ers. But he has perhaps the worst skill position talent in the NFC. The Rams' strength is their defense, particularly their pass rush. It should have no problem keeping check-down quarterback Blaine Gabbert from making big plays.The 49ers are a work-in-progress. This is their first game under Kelly.
Kelly may even alter his ultra up-tempo style to protect his defense knowing this is one of the few games the 49ers have a legitimate chance of winning.
