00:00We focus on the NFC, particularly the NFC West lining this division up, Dubsie, the

00:09first place Seattle Seahawks at 8-5, second place the Los Angeles Rams at 7-6, the Arizona

00:15Cardinals at 6-7, and then bringing up the rear, the San Francisco 49ers also at 6-7.

00:22Well good for us, we're going to talk about two teams now in the NFC West which include

00:26the Rams and the 49ers on Thursday Night Football in a massive game that could depend on ending

00:33the 49er season, helping out the Rams, we'll get to it here now.

00:38Opening line, minus 2-1-1 at the Fanduil Sportsbook, Dubsie.

00:42Where does that sit today?

00:43You see the graphic, it's still 2-1-1, it hasn't moved.

00:46The total however, has moved this week, 46-1-1 at the opening number at Fanduil, now up to

00:5249-1-1.

00:53Ticket counts here, heavily towards the Rams' direction.

00:56San Francisco, big win last week against the Bears to sort of climb back in to say, we're

01:01not dead yet, but the 49ers shot it out with the Buffalo Bills and came away with a two-point

01:06victory and a massive scoring game.

01:09Stafford, Purdy, where do we stand?

01:13What else do we need for a Thursday night little divisional dance coming up, both teams

01:18with a must win, this is absolutely a must win for the Rams.

01:22The motivation is there for the 49ers, they lose this one, their season is all over.

01:27Debo's firing off shots there on social media, that could be the spark to rally the locker

01:32room.

01:33It doesn't get any easier up there at Santa Clara, but for me Donnie, you know, looking

01:37at 2-1-1, it's a dangerous number.

01:39I think the Rams are live on the money line here, road dogs.

01:43I think they're going to make a real strong goal of it and they've got the weapons.

01:47You look at Matty Stafford, when he is on song, when he is playing to that turn, Perkin

01:52Nakua, the run game, Kyron Williams setting the table, he has been absolutely fantastic

01:57for the past couple of seasons, keeping the Rams in their playoff hopes alive.

02:01And for the 49ers, they looked a lot better last week going against the Chicago Bears.

02:06Prior to that, they really struggled to put up the points.

02:09And I think this total, Donnie, with that steaming up to 49 and a half, I don't mind

02:13the look of the unders in this one.

02:15It really feels like it's going to have that playoff atmosphere and with that, I think

02:19both teams are going to be trying to fill each other, lean on that run game, especially

02:23there for the Rams early in this one.

02:25I think it's going to take that total out of play.

02:27So early look on this one, I love the look of the unders and I do think the Rams, if

02:32they can get this one, watch out.

02:34They are going to make an absolute surge towards the playoffs, but there's a lot on the line

02:39here for Thursday Night Football.
