This will be a battle between two hard hitting defenses and some offenses that can score with the best of them. Last season the 49ers had the Ram’s number in their two matchups. This year it was supposed to be Trey Lance under center but he got injured and is out for the season. Jimmy Garoppolo will be leading the charge and he knows all about the Rams. The Rams will be looking to get a win on the 49ers as they haven’t got a win since Matthew Stafford has been at the head of the offense. It’s a huge rivalry in the NFC West so this will definitely be must-watch television tonight on MNF.
The 49ers are coming off a tough loss to the Broncos in Week 3. They will look to bounce back against the Rams who beat the Cardinals last week. Jimmy G will look to get this offense back on track but that starts with Deebo Samuels who does it all for this team. Deebo can catch the ball lined up and he can easily get the ball in the backfield for a run. Deebo gets everyone on that team going and his energy is infectious. Look for Jimmy to also rely on Jeff Wilson Jr in the backfield as they love to trick teams with the play action game. Jimmy G would also have to get George Kittle involved in the passing game as it will be tough to score on the Ram’s defense. Last week Jimmy G had 211 yards passing with a touchdown. He will need to get a rhythm going so that they can pull out the win, especially from the offensive end. Jalen Ramsey and those Rams defenders including Aaron Donald will be waiting for that one mistake.
The 49er’s defense has been really good this season. Nick Bosa has been the leader for that defense and he’s been a true machine when it comes to getting to those quarterbacks. The 49ers are tough on the run and they make it hard on anyone that’s trying to pass the ball. Overall this should be a tough matchup as this defense always plays the Rams tough. Last week they only allowed 11 points to the Broncos this Ram’s offense is a lot better but with it being in San Francisco the home field can give them a little more juice.
Matthew Stafford has been on fire this season and his chemistry with Cooper Kupp has been on full display. Last week Matthew Stafford didn’t score a touchdown but he will be looking to make that happen this week. The Rams have so many weapons on the offensive end and this should make it easy on Stafford. The wide receiver room has Allen Robinson alongside Cooper Kupp so they can get loose at any moment. The running backs Akers and Henderson Jr are also a great mixture that can make it tough on the defense, especially with the play-action. The Rams know how to make the defense pay and if the 49ers pick the wrong play they could pay for it. Stafford is a gunslinger that makes some questionable decisions but in the long run, he definitely has proven that he can get it done.
The Ram’s defense is led by Aaron Donald who we all know is all-world talent. Donald can ruin a whole offensive game plan by himself. When Donald is playing and causing havoc it usually takes 2 or 3 offensive linemen to try to slow him down. Aaron Donald will try to get his hands on Jimmy G tonight and he will be looking to make it tough all night. Jalen Ramsey is the secondary leader who puts all the pressure on himself when it comes to the wide receivers. Ramsey is a ball hawk and he’s one of those players that can bring an interception to the end zone real quick. Look for Ramsey to have his hands full with Deebo Samuels and he looks forward to the challenge.
Prediction: Los Angeles Rams will win this game 31 – 17 against the San Francisco 49ers.
