49ers vs Rams Betting Pick
This game will be played at SoFi Stadium at 6:30 PM ET on Sunday, January 30, 2022.
Why Bet The Rams:
✅ The Rams have averaged 32 points per game during the postseason so far, doing so against quality defenses in the Cardinals and Buccaneers. They even managed to hold off a late-game comeback attempt from Tom Brady, which is no easy task in the postseason given Brady’s history during this time of year.
✅ San Francisco has played two straight defensive gems, holding the Cowboys and Packers to 13 points per game in the postseason. But the Rams have averaged over 6.0 yards per play in both of their playoff games and will represent a tougher challenge than the Niners have faced during the playoffs so far.

✅ While the Niners have beaten the Rams twice already this season, the Rams still have the advantage in terms of their coaching and quarterback play. The numbers say to take the Rams regardless of what the previous results have been this season, and that is exactly what we are going to do.
San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers once again dominated with their defense to pull an upset on the road this postseason. They followed up their road win over the Dallas Cowboys with one in Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers. In that 13-10 win, the Niners gave up a touchdown on the Packers’ opening drive, giving up just three points the rest of the way in a game where the Niners turned things around with a blocked punt touchdown with under five minutes to go.
In this game, the Niners will need their defense to continue to play at a high level. But the offense will need to improve if they want to advance to the Super Bowl. San Francisco has scored 18 points per game this postseason, which drops lower when you take away the blocked punt they scored on to tie things up against the Packers. Jimmy Garoppolo is battling injury, which will be a concern against a Rams defense that can make big plays at multiple levels.
Los Angeles Rams
The Los Angeles Rams went to Tampa Bay and punched the Buccaneers in the mouth in the Divisional round. They went up 27-3 in that game, and managed to kick a field goal as time expired to win 30-27 after allowing Tom Brady to tie things up late. While there will be concerns surrounding Los Angeles’ ability to hold a lead after their last game, the Rams will like their chances as a favorite at home in this spot.
Eliminating turnovers will be crucial if the Rams want to avoid being upset on their home field with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. Los Angeles lost four fumbles to the Buccaneers, and will need to improve their ball security to give themselves a chance to avenge their dud of a performance against the Patriots in their last Super Bowl appearance.
