December 28 Update: This may be the most interesting game of the week for bettors. That is because reports have the Rams resting key players such as QB Jared Goff, running back Todd Gurley, and defensive star Aaron Donald. The NFL betting line has bounced around amid reports, and will move one way or the other depending on what the Rams do as game time approaches. At the moment, TopBet bettor confidence (58 percent at press) backs Los Angeles and the points.
I predict the San Francisco 49ers to cover the spread against the Jacksonville Jaguars, but myself along with everybody could not have predicted what happen Sunday in San Fran. Jimmy G along with company take care of the Jacksonville Jaguars in amazing fashion.
The 49ers took it to the playoff bound Jaguars as they would score 44 points against the top defense of the Jaguars as the final score would be 44-33 in favor of the San Francisco 49ers.
Let’s start with the defense first in the win. Blake Bortles of the Jaguars has had a successful past couple of weeks but ran into a road block against the 49ers. San Fran would pick off Bortles three times and kept the game in check. As for the offense, Jimmy G continued to stay hot as the would throw for 242 passing yards, two touchdowns and one interception. It was a great day especially against the playoff bound Jags.
Well the Los Angeles Rams are kings of the NFC West. Everybody saw this coming right? With new head coach Sean McVay and others in the coaching staff, the Rams put together a huge push in the season and this young team finally showcased their amazing talent. That talent included the likes of Jared Goff and Todd Gurley.
In the win, Goff would have another historic game as he would complete 22 of his 38 passes for 301 yards as well as four touchdowns. Goff has been great this season as the Rams are proving why he deserved to be the number one pick.
Goff might of had a great game, but the Los Angeles Rams also have Todd Gurley. The hopeful MVP running back finished the game with getting 22 touches for 118 rushing yards. But wait, Gurley also had 158 receiving yards along with two more touchdowns.
This Los Angeles Rams team is scary, and I do seem them being a first problem for the San Francisco 49ers.
Writer’s Prediction
The San Francisco 49ers might of had a nice streak with their new quarterback, but the Rams are on a whole new level. Take the Los Angeles Rams as they are the home team as this defense is going to be all over the San Francisco 49ers. Pick: Rams (+3.5)
