This is a high total because the L.A. Rams have a deadly offense, but don't forget about how talented this defense is. They can stuff the run and put pressure on opposing quarterbacks. The Rams are #11 in the NFL in yards allowed, #14 against the run, and seventh in points allowed giving up just 19.7 points per contest. Los Angeles is 9-3 UNDER the total on the road against a team with a losing home record. San Francisco lost its starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo for the season and the backup is mostly terrible in C.J. Beathard (six TDs, five INTs). The 49ers will look to control the ball and the clock with their running game, as they're third in the league in rushing yards per game (142.5) utilizing running backs Matt Breida and Alfred Morris. San Francisco's run defense ranks in the league's top-third in yards per attempt, allowing just four yards per carry with DE DeForest Buckner very good at getting to the quarterback. San Francisco is 10-2 UNDER the total at home against a team with a winning road record and the UNDER is 4-1 the last five meetings in this stadium. Take this one to finish UNDER.
