First place in the NFC West will be up for grabs this week when the Los Angeles Rams host the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday night, a critical matchup for both teams this early in the season. It’s the Rams’ first divisional game of the year, which only adds to the intrigue.
As the home team, the Rams should have at least a slight advantage – even if the 49ers are known for taking over SoFi Stadium with their fanbase. The oddsmakers see the Rams as having the upper hand in this matchup, making Los Angeles the early favorite.
According to the latest odds, the Rams are 3.5-point favorites over the 49ers and the over/under is sitting at 47.5 points.
After losing nine of 10 games to the 49ers from 2019-2023, the Rams have taken back control of this rivalry. They’ve won three games in a row
