(NFL) San Francisco vs. LA Rams,
Point Spread: 3.50 | -110.00 San Francisco (Away)
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: San Francisco 49ers.

I like the San Francisco 49ers to cover the spread against the LA Rams in this game on Sunday. The 49ers have been a very resilient group in these playoffs so far. They came in as a Wild Card team and dominated the Cowboys in the Wild Card game, then they went into Green bay and took out the number 1 seed with a banged up QB playing in very cold and bothersome weather but still came out with a win when they the only time they had a lead in that game was when they kicked the winning field goal. I think the 49ers fought very hard at the end of the season just to get here and they continued their gritty play in their 2 playoff games too. I think they have the momentum on their side and will continue to play well making it very tough on the opposing team to beat them. Their defense has looked great lately and I think they are going to be a key factor in this game. The Rams have also looked a lot better on offense lately but they haven't really played teams that were surging into the playoffs. Their 1st win in these playoffs was against the Cardinals who went 1-5 in their final 6 games of the season and then they kicked out a Buccaneers team that was losing steam fast as they were nearing the finish line, struggling to beat the Jets in their last game of the regular season and then missing a lot of offensive weapons too making it hard to compete with what the Rams had. The Rams defense has the pieces there to perform well too but time and time again during the season we saw them underperform and even in the last round of the playoffs they had a huge lead and somehow let the Bucs make a comeback and tie it 27-27 which never should have happened. I think the 49ers have been through a lot and will be very tough to stop here with that great defense backing them up playing the way they are at the moment. The 49ers were also 2-0 vs the Rams this year and they are 6-0 against them over the past 3 seasons. The 49ers clearly have the Rams number and nothing they see should be new to them from playing in the same division and seeing them twice a year. The 49ers are 1 team that McVay just can't beat and I think they have a good chance to pull off another upset over the Rams here. I like the 49ers to cover the spread in this game.

T.M. Prediction: 23-20 49ers.
