Bill Speros writes: “The post-Super-Bowl-hangover has claimed its latest victim in the San Francisco 49ers. The team never recovered from its 25-22 OT loss to the Chiefs in Super Bowl 58. The 49ers were hit hard with injuries this season, as well. Christian McCaffrey is done for the season after suffering a torn PCL this past week. And his backup Jordan Mason may not see action until the 2025-26 season. Even fully staffed, opposing coordinators were able to decipher Kyle Shanahan’s offense. The 49ers routed the Bears in Week 14. But does that even count? The 49ers have failed to cover in 9 straight games after a win. The Rams put up 44 points on the Bills and barely survived in a 2-point win. The trio of Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, and Cooper Kupp are back in top form. The Niners’ 38-13 win over the Bears was more mirage than harbinger. The Rams offense can handle San Francisco’s defensive front. And no one appears able to cover Kupp and Nacua these days. And stop Kyren Williams at the same time. And Brock Purdy is no Josh Allen.”

It writes: “After extensive simulations, our model gives the Rams a win probability of 29%, while the 49ers have a win probability of 71%.”
Matt Johnson writes: “Both the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers are coming off big wins, providing some momentum for each side for this Thursday Night Football matchup. San Francisco did get cornerback Charvarius Ward back in Week 14, giving this secondary two corners it can trust in man coverage. However, the Rams’ pass rush combined with an effective run game versus a 49ers’ defense that allowed 131.8 rush ypg and 4.5 ypc from Weeks 5-13 should pave the way to a win for Los Angeles.”
