How it plays out

San Francisco 49ers vs Los Angeles Rams is a NFC West rivalry game, the kind where the records can go out the window. On paper this is about as lopsided as it gets: San Francisco 49ers at 71% to Los Angeles Rams's 29%, spread SF -3.

Tactically, San Francisco 49ers will want to lean on disruptive front to attack Los Angeles Rams, whose aging QB is the obvious pressure point. Going the other way, Los Angeles Rams's creative passing could punish San Francisco 49ers if injury luck goes unaddressed. Whoever wins that exchange likely wins the game.

Keep an eye on Brock Purdy (QB) and Matthew Stafford (QB): the two most likely to decide it with a single play. With 49ers at home, the model already bakes in roughly a field-goal's worth of home-field edge.
