Just saw we have a 31% chance to beat the rams, 43% chance to beat the Eagles then it goes to 75% and 87% against the Lions and Bears.

Have to wonder if that view changes if the Rams struggle tonight AND if Dak comes back next week? 31% seems pretty low with how our defense is playing...yes we should be the underdog but not by a ton.

thoughts?

Don't see Dak coming back before the Eagles game....at the earliest. Dak admitted he overdid it this past week. Until the swelling is gone he really can't do anything of substance.

Rams are clearly favored Sunday. Even if they look like poop tonight

You ride the hot hand.

If Rush miraculously beats the Rams(don't think we win even with Dak) he gets the Eagles and lions hands down. Once he puts two clunkers together then we can roll with Dak

We were also only favored to beat the Washington by 3. I hate to say, the only good all around team right now is the Eagles. Everyone else has flaws. So this years is trully up for grabs.

I think the Rams should win tonight, but you never know when playing divisional rivals. I would rather play the Rams coming off a win than a loss. o_O

Yeah DW, i agree, i think we get Rush once more and then Dak is back against Philly...hope they play loose with house money against the Rams, might be surpised to see how good they can play...then again they might get destroyed, ha, who knows!

That’s honestly way higher than I thought. I’d give us about a 5% chance.

McCarthy vs McVay? McVay all day.

Stafford vs Rush and/or Dak? Stafford all day

Kupp and Robinson vs Gallup/Lamb/Brown (if he plays): Toss up. Our WR core is better but Kupp is an entire beast on his own.

RB: Akers vs Zeke/Pollard? Toss up. If Pollard has another stinker, Akers will easily win. Might give the edge to the Rams anyways as their run defense is better than ours. Our run defense has much work to do.

Defense: ours is pretty good, but so is there’s. They have a Donald. But we have a Parsons. Toss up. That leaves it to offensive firepower, in which, they are way stronger.

They win majority of the matchups here.

FPI said we had a 45% chance to beat Washington.

BPI said the Golden State Warriors had a 14% chance to beat the Boston Celtics in the 2022 NBA Finals.

Rams offensive line isn’t what it was last year. I think we can disrupt Stafford and get some TO’s. If we don’t turn it over and can run the ball it’ll be a winnable game.

I hope there's a lot of dark blue in the stands, for whatever that's worth

i think that the 49ers will win tonight. niners own the rams the same way the cowboys own the giants right now.

You better hope the Rams win tonight or they will pillage our village and have their way with our women on Sunday.
I don’t think they have the defensive line that Washington has. I think we can run the ball on them

If Dak plays and the Rams look bad tonight odds are after adjustment it is close to 40% to beat the Rams.

FPI is a relatively decent indicator of who will win what games and generally outperforms analyst picks, but it is far from perfect.

In the end, there is a reason you have to play the games. Anything can happen.
