00:00battle for the NFC West really could come down to tonight's game between the Rams and 49ers Matt

00:09Lutovsky joins us and you know Matt I don't think the 49ers are going to win the division but the

00:14Rams simply put have to in order to keep this going their three-point underdogs tonight in

00:19San Francisco we saw the Rams play last week all offense no defense total 49 and a half for a

00:26Thursday night game which is super rare do you think that this one lives up to the billing

00:31yeah the points are uh you know like you said Thursday night games you never quite

00:36know what you're gonna get the 49ers just keep taking hits you know it looks like Isaac

00:40Arendo might not be out there won't be a hundred percent even if he is I mean there's only so far

00:46you can go down a running back depth chart before you start really seeing the effects

00:50I know people think it's a Shanahan offense and whoever's at running backs gonna produce well

00:55they might get some cheap yards and a touchdown here or there but are they really gonna help keep

00:59the offense moving so I question the points a little bit that is a high number but there are

01:05a lot of injuries uh you know to both teams but especially the 49ers so even though they do have

01:12that home field advantage I just don't know what you're gonna get from that team and how complete

01:17of a performance you're gonna get we we've sort of seen that all year from that team with the

01:21Rams you know the offense is gonna be there you know that they're gonna be tough to stop

01:25and they're gonna get points so I do see a very competitive game I think it'll come down to the

01:31wire uh but are we gonna get an explosion of points from both teams and and are we gonna see

01:37the 49ers hold on that that I question a little bit more yeah I really and honestly Matt with

01:42the Rams I know they exploded for all those points they've had a couple of games like that

01:46but for the most point the most part they really have had a hard time scoring in the first half of

01:51almost every game this season save a couple the Seahawks are still favored but as you can see the

01:56FanDuel Sportsbook is giving you some other options here Matt not fully trusting that Seattle's gonna

02:01either run the table or maybe just lose a game I do think 11 wins uh would guarantee Seattle

02:07getting in and winning the division they're eight and five right now but the Rams if they win tonight

02:12this is probably the best odds you'll get for them to win the division if you believe in it

02:16and then the Cardinals of course have gone south uh 49ers absolutely have to win out and get some

02:22luck I think along the way yeah and and the thing too like with the Seahawks we know you know this

02:27is going to be a very competitive vision a division to the end and they're a very good team as we know

02:34and they can beat any team and they have the home field there so when I look at this division as a

02:40whole uh I just think that if we're going to go into week 18 going all right let's see what

02:46happens we got all those division all those division games that it's going to be a fun one

02:50down the stretch.
