SF 49ers +6.5 (-110) vs. LA Rams

11/28/20 Best Bet: This is exactly the type of game you need to play if you want to win in the NFL. I’m not saying this bet is gonna win, I’m just saying over the long term, this is above 52.4% and that’s all that matters. Now to the handicap: I’m getting the 49ers off of a bye and getting healthier. Yes, they aren’t getting Jimmy G or Kittle back, but as noted here two weeks ago - the difference between Jimmy G and Nick Mullens isn’t vast. SF is also getting back Richard Sherman, Raheem Mostert and Deebo Samuel: actual NFL level players. On the flipside, the Rams are on a short week because of MNF, which is even shorter due to the holiday. It’s a divisional game and this is too many points. I am sure Shanahan does not want to get bested by McVay and given the additional time, I believe the Niners cover here.
