I have to go with the Rams to cover the spread here. The 49ers will likely lean on the run here in the beginning until the Rams get ahead and start playing from ahead. In the second half we'll likely see a shift on offense for the 49ers to more passing plays to keep up with the Rams. Rams defense should give the 49ers problems here, which is why I can see the Rams covering -3 points.
