00:00NFC West rivalry in California.

00:07This one up north in Santa Clara as the 49ers on a short week, get ready to welcome the

00:13LA Rams.

00:14The Niners booked as less than a field goal favorite.

00:16Now just a two and a half point spread total stands at 48 and a half Joe.

00:23The importance of this game cannot be undersold because if either one of these two clubs is

00:29more than likely to see the postseason, it is winning games like this within the division

00:36to win the division.

00:37The Rams are seven and six.

00:39They're a full game behind Seattle.

00:42The Niners are six and seven.

00:44They are also behind Seattle, but the thing that is harming the 49ers more than just the

00:49overall record Joe sub 500, it's their NFC West record at one and three.

00:56Again, the importance of Thursday night to kick off week 15.

01:01It is a big one.

01:04What do you like in terms of the numbers?

01:06Wow.

01:07And it looks like both, uh, offenses have finally figured some things out.

01:12Uh, that was a big effort by the Rams against a very good Buffalo, uh, defense, uh, and

01:20they were able to put up more than 40 points there.

01:23We saw of course, San Francisco finally, uh, you know, start getting the ball.

01:28That was the Brock Purdy.

01:29That was good.

01:30Brock Purdy.

01:31Uh, what we saw there, despite the fact that they have no running game, uh, of dimension,

01:37but they still didn't have both and they're still missing guys on the defensive side of

01:41the ball.

01:42I mean, call me crazy.

01:44How is this game not going over?

01:46They scored 51 in the first meeting.

01:49In fact, if I'm not mistaken, the last 15 games between these teams have averaged 50

01:55points here, Ben, it feels like this is going to be two teams, very familiar with one another

02:02issues on defense for both teams.

02:06Offenses seem to finally be figuring it out.

02:08Yeah.

02:09This feels like a wild shootout to me.
