Rams vs. 49ers

Right now, Matthew Stafford’s passing yards prop is set at 228.5 yards (-110/-110).

Pros

  • The Rams are a massive 7.5-point underdog in this week’s game, which points towards an extreme passing game script.
  • THE BLITZ projects the Los Angeles Rams as the most pass-heavy team among all teams this week with a 66.6% pass rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.
  • The weatherman calls for 0-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means increased pass volume, increased touchdown potential, and increased passing effectiveness.
  • Opposing QBs have averaged 36.4 pass attempts per game against the San Francisco 49ers defense since the start of last season: 3rd-most in the NFL.
Cons

  • THE BLITZ projects the Rams to call the least offensive plays on the slate this week with 58.8 plays, accounting for their underlying tendencies and game dynamics.
  • The Los Angeles Rams have run the 9th-least plays in the NFL since the start of last season, totaling just 55.6 plays per game.
  • The San Francisco 49ers pass defense has exhibited strong efficiency since the start of last season, yielding 7.17 yards-per-target: the 8th-least in the NFL.
  • The San Francisco 49ers defense has excelled when opposing pass-catchers have gotten into space, giving up an average of 4.08 yards-after-the-catch since the start of last season: the 2nd-least in the league.
  • The San Francisco 49ers safeties grade out as the 2nd-best safety corps in the NFL since the start of last season in pass coverage.
