49ers at Rams unfold alternatives
"49ers instruct Kyle Shanahan and Rams coach Sean McVay are correct pals who've worked together in their careers. But due to the fact becoming head coaches, Shanahan has gotten the better of McVay. He is 7-three in 10 video games towards him, winning six straight, which include two this year. In Week 18, the 49ers beat the Rams on the road to earn a gap in the playoffs. Here we're 3 weeks later, and they are lower back in the identical constructing meeting for a hazard to get to the Super Bowl.
"In the ultimate meeting, the 49ers rallied from a 17-zero deficit to win the game, 27-24. The 49ers shielding line dominated the Rams offensive line in that sport. In games towards the Rams, the 49ers have seven sacks and 21 pressures with out doing a lot of blitzing, which is something Matthew Stafford has killed this season.
"The Rams love to run the ball of their zone scheme, but the 49ers have run it better in the two games, getting a mean of 87.5 yards greater per game at the floor. That's in which this game may be gained. The crew that runs it high-quality will win. The 49ers want to run it take the pressure off Jimmy Garoppolo, whilst the Rams key their offense off that wide-region scheme.
"As for attacking the 49ers defense, it's easy. Block them in opposition to the pass and you may beat them. That's some thing the Rams have no longer accomplished. I do not suppose they may do it right here, either.
"The Rams are the big name-studded crew, however the 49ers are the more physical team. The remaining time a team gained 3 games, along with a convention title recreation on the street, in opposition to the equal team within the identical season came in 1999. That yr, the Jacksonville Jaguars have been the famous person-studded group, however it become the Tennessee Titans that had been the extra bodily crew. The Titans won the championship sport to get to the Super Bowl at the Jaguars' subject. That will happen here as well. The 49ers will keep their run to a name with a difficult, physical victory."

"The Rams below Sean McVay are winless against Kyle Shanahan and the 49ers. The three.5-factor spread for the 49ers makes me think Vegas needs us all on San Francisco. The Niners swept the everyday season series. San Francisco is a terrible matchup for the Rams due to the fact the L.A. Defense is designed to snuff out superstars on the opposite aspect of the ball and punish questionable offensive traces.
"The 49ers have plenty of stars but no alpha the offense runs through. Deebo Samuel is not a person you may just placed Jalen Ramsey on. Using Ramsey on George Kittle works quite properly with Ramsey playing extra within the slot, but George Kittle is utilized in run blocking off so much it's no longer always maximizing his skillset.
"My heart's rooting for Stafford and my mind is sending off a Spidey Sense signal the Rams is probably ready to break through. Maybe they get us the Chiefs-Rams Super Bowl we've been ready on for some years now. My wallet wishes a 49ers-Bengals matchup and I picked simply that before the playoffs. I can not likely lay down now."
-- CBS Sports' Will Brinson had a hard time determining between his heart and his thoughts at the NFC side of things. To read his alternatives column, click here.
"When these teams have met of their 2d sport each of the past 3 seasons, the Niners have received them every by means of a discipline purpose as time expired. It's uncanny. It's tough to overcome an awesome crew three times, and I simply do not see it going on this weekend."
-- CBS Sports NFL Insider Jonathan Jones is taking the Rams to get the closing laugh at the 49ers. To study his Sunday choices and the NFL insider notebook, click right here.
"The Rams were swept with the aid of the 49ers inside the everyday season. There's no manner they cross 0-3 in opposition to Jimmy Garoppolo, right? A crew dropping 3 times to at least one opponent within the equal season hasn't happened considering 2017. Additionally, if L.A. Loses on Sunday, it'd be Sean McVay's seventh-immediately loss to Kyle Shanahan. The remaining time a head train misplaced to an opposing head teach seven directly times was Marvin Lewis and his Bengals suffering towards Mike Tomlin's Steelers.
"San Francisco's comeback against the Rams in Week 18 was first rate, but I don't think that happens again. The 49ers' postseason run has been astounding, but it in reality hans't been perfect. They almost blew a cause the Dallas Cowboys within the first spherical and wanted a blocked punt landing to down the Green Bay Packers closing weekend. Matthew Stafford hasn't been in this example before, but I suppose he's prepared for it. He threw for 366 yards and two touchdowns remaining week against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and orchestrated a game-prevailing power. He's not going to permit this opportunity to play within the Super Bowl in his new home stadium slip through his arms. His legacy remains being established."
