I'm not going to go into my typical long winded analysis of this match-up. Both teams look very much alike on paper in the offense. The Rams have better pass ranking, contrastly the 49ers have the better rush ranking.

On the other side of the ball the 49ers can mount a pretty decent rush D but not much against the pass. The Rams, however, offer up nothing defensively.

So what's the difference, the Rams can throw the ball. I don't like QB Marc Bulger, but he has great wide outs to throw to. That is going to be the key in this match-up.

My pick: St.Louis Rams get their first cover. I, despite my better judgement, actually have money on the Rams -3.5. It's not a lock, but not a waste either.
