The final quarter of the NFL schedule has seen the St. Louis Rams start to put the pieces together. The Rams are 3-0 SU and ATS in their past three games while outscoring opponents 75-54. The Rams will look to end their season on a four-game winning streak when they visit the San Francisco 49ers Sunday.
- The Rams have only been road favorites three times since the 2010 season.
- The 49ers are 5-12 ATS in their last 17 home games.
- Todd Gurley rushed for 133 yards and one touchdown when these teams met in Week 8.
The Rams late season surge has a lot to do with the reimagined offense. Rob Boras was promoted to offensive coordinator following the firing of Frank Cignetti and he emphasized a simplified gameplan. Case Keenum also came in as starter and has managed to do what Nick Foles never could, protect the football.
There is no sugar coating this; the 49ers suck. When Blaine Gabbert, a backup quarterback at best, is your best offensive player you can’t argue that your team sucks. The 49ers are averaging the fewest points per game (14.6) in the NFL by a wide margin.
