Rams Don’t Mind a Gurley-Man Leading Them

Everyone understood at the beginning of the season that the San Francisco 49ers might have to undergo a major rebuilding project, but first-year coach Jim Tomsula was hoping that he could accelerate the process. Well, he hasn’t been able to do that, and his team is falling out of contention in the NFC West. What could help is an upset victory at the Edward Jones Dome against the St. Louis Rams, who are looking to move over the .500 mark as these teams battle at 1 PM ET on Sunday. Vietbet customers don’t have to stop the wagering at the opening kickoff; they can continue challenging the football betting lines, which are ever-changing while the game is in progress, through the magic of Live Betting Extra.

St. Louis is coming off a very impressive 24-6 victory over the Cleveland Browns, who are not a winning team but one that has usually done enough to hang in with better squads. So that’s a good barometer as to where they are at right now. Head coach Jeff Fisher is obviously very happy that he has is go-to running back in rookie Todd Gurley, who got a late start to the season because of his knee problems but has now rushed for 442 yards on a six-yard average. The Rams need that, because quarterback Nick Foles has been inconsistent at best (58.5% completions, six touchdowns, five interceptions).
The Niners followed up a home victory over the Baltimore Ravens with a drab 20-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks four days later. So they are now the team with some extra rest, and they hope that they can move the ball on the ground with Carlos Hyde, who hasn’t really been able to duplicate his huge 168-yard effort in the season opener.

Gurley had 128 rushing yards and two touchdowns last week, and of all the rookies in the league this season, he appears to be the one who has made the most impact, with the potential to make even more. He is simply a relentless runner, and he is carrying out the scenario Fisher wanted to create when he arrived as the team’s coach. The Rams have been inconsistent, as are a lot of teams who are borderline wild-card contenders. But we may finally discover what the “ceiling” for this team looks like.
At home, the St. Louis defense has been pretty tough. In fact, they have allowed only 18 points in their last two in friendly territory. Vietbet patrons know that this is a team that can rush the passer; with 23 sacks, they are among the best in the league. And San Francisco fans know, painfully enough, the travails that Colin Kaepernick has suffered when it comes to avoiding opposing pass rushers. Even though he can do an awful lot with his legs, he is not always the fastest decision-maker, and that has led to him being sacked 25 times. Last season these teams played twice as division rivals; Kaepernick managed to go without being sacked in the first game, but the Rams racked up eight in the rematch.
