00:00as we have a lot of injuries that could provide a lot of opportunity for some

00:08guys even guys that have been absolutely irrelevant to their team so far who

00:13could all of a sudden become a third down back despite not being good

00:18pass-catching running backs here I mean this is fantastic a six and a half point

00:25number total checking in around 44 and a half 43 and a half tell me how Sean

00:31McVeigh over this week is now implementing Blake warm as the new lead

00:36not the lead running back but he'll utilize them in regards to the short

00:39intermediate passing game and I expect Kyron Williams to be a factor as well a

00:43more touches 12 carries for 21 yards I like the points with the LA Rams I think

00:49it's a lower scoring game it's a more of a methodical attack especially with the

00:53offensive line concerns for LA and I think they're within the number I know

00:57that San Francisco is dominated I think there's a better team and more physical

01:02but I still think LA being at home I think they win this ballgame by the way

01:06you're all looking at that 44 and a half now 43 and a half at some places

01:10up down from 47 and a half and I do agree because you're trying to level the

01:13playing field on both sides what makes the most sense the one thing I do know

01:16is San Francisco's defense is going to be able to manhandle or should

01:19manhandle we should say the offense of the Los Angeles Rams tackle still banged

01:23up their offensive line and shambles a quarterback that's older can't get out

01:27of the way that's the good game plan that I'm looking at and the matchup from

01:30a San Francisco perspective maybe they also take it as we don't have to be

01:33high-flying today we don't need all our weapons if we have a ground game today

01:36which were to Mason in the back that I do think that's going to go a long way

01:40in winning this game and if I think the Rams are going to get beat in this game

01:43I don't know if I can say they can hang around to get six and if they quit last

01:46week they absolutely quit and that's gonna be worrisome today for me guys the

01:50more I I've looked at this game early week I thought the seven and a half was

01:54incredibly disrespectful to McVeigh and Stafford it's just continuously

01:58compounded and also sometimes I'd rather George Kittle be healthy Debo be

02:06healthy and I get through these key numbers at six and a half I can't bet

02:11the LA Rams in this spot here because one of the other factors that it comes

02:15into this game for me is Shanahan somewhat having McVeigh's number look

02:20there is irony wrapped up in McVeigh beating Shanahan in that NFC title game

02:25that's kind of like the only real win he has over him but Shanahan has had his

02:29number sometimes you can win a game ugly cover it doesn't have to be dominant

02:35what I mean is if this thing finishes 24 17 that wouldn't stun me that's a cover

02:42now on this new line if I'm betting this game all week it was Rams with the

02:46movement I would shift to the Niners here and I do find these props really

02:51difficult by the way there are zero Blake Horne yardage props available in

02:55the market just saying I'll make you one what do you think a pass catching two

02:59three catches today he's at three I'll buy you dinner to an

03:04anchor you got it three catches three plus you got it there you go you got it

03:08great wonderful I mean that is minus 9,000 in my favor that's fine um I you

03:16again his numbers are too high are based on what we've seen from him but one

03:22thing we didn't hit on and then we'll get to the Eagles Saints game Donnie

03:24are weeks too confidently expecting Jordan Jordan Mason's the favorite to

03:29lead the NFL this week in rushing yeah are we expecting too much too easily or

03:32is this normal no I think this is good the way this game plays out where it

03:35basically says to me if I'm the 49ers I'm just not stretching that yes Brandon

03:40I've seen to get his catches you worry about the secondary options which

03:43include no George Kittle in that lineup and you're gonna draw on Jennings who is

03:45a decent number two number three but if you look on the other side and say guys

03:49if we just don't implode on offense we win this football game yeah it's got to

03:53be 20 plus carries here for Mason out of the backfield and you're not saving

03:56Mason for the season you're hoping that you get Christian McCaffrey back right

04:00so use them or lose them at this point right now he's hot he's healthy you can

04:03win this game on the ground and I think he scores a touchdown today and goes

04:06over his number I just got back-to-back hunter your performances right and

04:10that's the thing I mean here's the other factor too is the offensive line so bad

04:13sat Stafford got sacked five times yeah last week so when you say 24 17 what is

04:19the team total for LA today do we really believe they can get to 17 is the main

04:24question or is he gonna have time or is that defense gonna have to bounce back

04:28in a big way and at least for some turnovers Trey White got abused by

04:32Harrison jr. so you would think that at least that secondary needs to buckle up

04:36somewhat and force field goals as opposed to touchdowns today
