The set-up: LA opened the year 3-0, but it's since 0-2. San Francisco enters are 4-0 after Monday's destruction of the Browns at home. I've been surprised by the 49ers so far, but I have a hard time seeing the team maintaining this level of play, especially vs. this now hungry Rams team, which comes in off a last second controversial loss to another division rival Seattle just last week.
The pick: Despite their recent issues, the Rams' offense still ranks sixth in the league. Additionally note that San Fran is a poor 0-2 ATS in its last two after playing on MNF, while LA is 6-2 ATS in its last eight off a divisional contest. I think the "hungrier" team finds a way to get the job done in this one.
8* play on the LA Rams.
