00:00And we've seen a massive amount of injury reports. I think all of us who

00:07cover the NFL say this every single season, but I swear the last 48 hours

00:11have been a little doom and gloom. So we might as well go to a matchup between

00:14two extremely banged up teams. 49ers taking on the Los Angeles Rams. Spread

00:19sitting at seven and a half right now. We also found out earlier today that

00:23Adibo Samuel, I don't I don't recall if I saw how much time he was gonna be out

00:27with, but it was a calf situation for him. So now they're down another weapon.

00:31Christian McCaffrey, that whole situation popped about. So even though

00:35they're not in a detrimental spot, you're losing two key guys that help you get

00:39down the field. And then the Rams, well, it's just been clarified that Cooper

00:42Cup not only left the game in a boot yesterday, but that he was heading to IR.

00:47So, I mean, how do we even look at this one knowing that there's so many key

00:49players just kind of off of the roster for the night? I think it's this game's

00:54all about the under, and there may be some value in Jordan Mason total

01:01attempts. This past week we were sitting at 17 and a half. It was minus 110, minus

01:05120, wherever you can find it. They're gonna be with no Adibo Samuel, no

01:09Christian McCaffrey. Hopefully Brandon Aiyuk will be at full form, a full snap

01:14count from him. Jordan's kiddo left the game against Minnesota only due to going

01:18back to the locker room and getting an IV. He should be good to go. There's no

01:22Kukunukua, there's no Cooper Cup. You told me, if you were to say to me that

01:27Kyron Williams and Jordan Mason just carry the ball combined 40 plus times,

01:31I'm not gonna be shocked. I don't see either team pushing the ball downfield

01:35too much. I guess I would side with the 49ers. If you just give me Kittle and

01:38Aiyuk, it would be better than Demarcus Robinson and Colby Parkinson. So we're

01:42not looking at anything exciting in this game outside of Mason, maybe Stafford

01:46under yards, just because he just doesn't have the options to throw the

01:50ball. This is also a divisional matchup, so I generally side with unders when we

01:54do see those divisional matchups. And I gotta say, I know the Rams were kind of

01:57like an upset pick for people this season, but they're also staring down 0

02:02and 3 if they lose this game, as the 7.5 spread would indicate. So I don't

02:06mind taking the points with the Rams, but I'm not in love with it right now.

02:10I would much rather go with the under 43.5.
