Dave looks at one of the featured Week 17 matchups this Sunday, an NFC matchup between the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams.

Free pick for the San Francisco 49ers at the Los Angeles Rams

The 4-11 San Francisco 49ers close out their regular season this Sunday as heavy nine-point road underdogs against the NFC West rival 12-3 Los Angeles Rams. Game time from Memorial Coliseum on FOX is set for 4:25 p.m. and Elite-rated VietBet has set the total line for this matchup at 50 points.

Los Angeles Rams      -10 San Francisco 49ers NFL prediction

The 49ers’ season did not go as planned, but they have won two of their last three games both straight-up and against the spread. The total stayed UNDER 44 points in Sunday’s 14-9 loss to Chicago as 3.5-point home underdogs on VietBet’s  closing line and it has stayed UNDER in six of San Francisco’s last nine games. It is 5-10 ATS overall with 2-5 record covering the spread on the road.

One of the big reasons the 49ers’ season went off the rails early in the season was the loss of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for the year. Coming down the stretch, Nick Mullins has taken over the reins to throw for 1,995 yards and 10 touchdowns in seven games. He has also tossed seven interceptions while getting sacked 14 times.Los Angeles Rams NFL prediction

The Rams need a win on Sunday to lock up a first-round bye as the second-best team in the NFC. They have stumbled a bit in the month of December with losses to Chicago on the road and Philadelphia at home both SU and ATS. Los Angeles has been a tough bet all season long at 6-7-2 ATS and the total has stayed UNDER or ended as a PUSH on VietBet’s closing line in its last four games.

Los Angeles did not have Pro Bowl running back Todd Gurley in the lineup for Sunday’s 31-9 road win against Arizona as a 14-point favorite, but it ended the game with 269 yards rushing on 41 rushing attempts. CJ Anderson led the way with 167 yards and one score on 20 carries. Jared Goff threw for 216 yards and one score while completing 19 of his 24 passing attempts. The Rams’ defense held Arizona to 263 total yards.

Los Angeles should win this game going away, but I got a feeling that San Francisco will keep things interesting enough against a bitter division foe to cover with the nine points.
