Matchup Snapshot
QB edge: Stafford 90.7 PFF (4th) vs Purdy 66.7 (22nd, Q-tag) → Major Rams advantage if Purdy’s mobility/planting is limited.
Team strength: Rams 6th overall / 7th offense vs 49ers 8th overall / 20th offense.
Passing: Rams offense is explosive (#3 yards/play, 6.2) and strong in EPA/pass; 49ers defense counters with elite pass suppression (#3 opponent yards/pass).
Run game: SF rushing has lagged (3.3 YPC, #31; EPA/run -0.18) and now faces a solid LAR front (3.9 YPC allowed, #9).
Pressure: LAR defense #2 in sack rate (≈10%); SF pass pro #7—but any Purdy limitation magnifies pressure.
Money downs / RZ: SF offense #3 on 3rd down (≈48%) yet #27 in RZ TD rate → drives can stall for FGs.
Turnovers: Rams +0.8 per game; 49ers -1.3 per game.
WR/CBs: Puka Nacua (PFF 93.1) operates as the alpha vs a 49ers secondary that’s stingy in yards but not creating many takeaways.
Best Bet
✅ Under 46.5 (-110) — two good defenses, divisional game, short week
