NFL Odds, Picks & Predictions: Rams vs. 49ers
Rams vs. 49ers
What if Week 1 wasn’t a fluke? What if the Rams are just that much better after a year of injuries and a serious Super Bowl hangover?
Matthew Stafford was 24-38 for 334 yards in Week 1, despite being without Cooper Kupp. Kupp will be out again this week, but Puka Nacua and Tutu Atwell each showed they can shoulder the load by racking up 119 yards apiece.
On the defensive side of the ball, the Rams held the Seattle Seahawks to just 180 yards and 13 first downs. Geno Smith finished the game just 16-26 for 112 yards and a touchdown, as he was sacked twice.
The San Francisco 49ers are one of the best teams in football, but perhaps we’re overreacting a bit to their beat down of the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 1. If they don’t bring their A-game, this is absolutely a game that the Rams can win.
Pick: Rams Moneyline (+270)
What is Betting Against the Spread?
Betting "against the spread" refers to the act of choosing the winning team based on a numeric handicap placed on the team that oddsmakers believe is superior, rather than picking the outright winner. For example, if the Rams face the Bengals, and oddsmakers set the spread at Rams -3.5, you would need Los Angeles to win by 4 or more points in order to cash your Rams bet.
What is an Over/Under Bet?
Over/Under is a wager based on how many points you think will be scored in a specific game. Oddsmakers set the total, and bettors decide whether the final score will be higher or lower than that number. If an Over/Under is set at 44.5 points and you bet Over, you will need the combined score of both teams to be 45 points or higher to win your bet.
What is a Moneyline Bet?
A moneyline bet involves choosing which team you believe will win a specific matchup. The moneyline favorite carries a minus designation, like -130. This means that you need to wager $130 to earn a $100 profit. Conversely, the underdog carries a plus designation, like +110. This means that you win $110 in profit on a $100 bet.
