MNF RAMS/NINERS BATTLE OF THE WEST
(NFL) LA Rams vs. San Francisco, 10/03/2022 8:15 PM, Score: 9 - 24
Point Spread: -1.00 | -117.00 San Francisco (Home)
Result: Win
T.M. Selection: San Francisco 49ers

I like the San Francisco 49ers to win this game against the Los Angeles Rams on Monday. Kyle Shanahan hates losing, especially against divisional opponents. Last year, these two teams met in the NFC Championship game, a game where the Niners most certainly could have won. If safety Jaquiski Tartt doesn't drop the easiest pick of his life, the Niners very well could have been Super Bowl champs. Let's not forget. Other than that game, Shanahan owns McVay. Kyle owns a dominant 7-3 regular season record against him and the Rams and I expect that to extend to 8-3 on MNF. Last week, the Niners took home a disappointing loss on SNF against the Broncos. This week, Jimmy G has fully prepared and is ready to take on his division rival in the Rams. LA on the other hand, cruised to an easy win against the Cardinals. After how easy it was to shut down AZ, I expect the Rams to be a tad overconfident coming into this one. I also expect the 49ers to have a very flowed "SF offense" that loves their running game/tight ends. Niners take this one.

T.M. Prediction: 27-21 49ers.
