FOX Sports
Geoff Scwhartz Rams of FOX sports sees the Rams winning outright, but with the 49ers covering the spread as (+3.5) underdogs. Schwartz indicated that the familiarity between the two NFC West rivals will make this another tight contest and with Matthew Stafford’s clutch showing against Tom Brady and the Buccaneers being the catalyst yet again for Los Angeles’ success.
Sporting News
Meanwhile, Sporting News’ Bill Bender predicted that the Rams will beat the Niners with a final score of 26-21, and with LA covering the spread as favorites in this situation.
Bender even goes as far as predicting that the Rams will seal the one-possession victory with a late San Francisco interception, as Stafford finally makes a deserving first-ever trip to the Super Bowl. Bender also recalls that the Rams choked away their chance to stave off the Niners from the postseason in the final week of the regular season, but Sean McVay and his boys will get their vengeance with a less-sloppier effort this time around.
FiveThirtyEight
Using amazing technology to deliver precise analytical data, FiveThirtyEight’s NFL prediction program calculated that the Rams have a win probability of 64 percent. However, it’s worth noting that the Niners have been given a win probability of 35 percent or less in each of their last four games, including their Week 18 clash versus Los Angeles. And yet, San Fran has defied the odds time and again this postseason and are also undefeated against the Rams in six straight meetings.
The site also made use of their renowned Elo system and predicted that the Rams’ Elo point spread is -4, which is right about the same odds given by oddsmakers to date.
