101 SFX -3.0(-120) Hilton vs 102 STL double-dime bet
Analysis:
Could the 49ers lose three in a row for the first time in the Jim Harbaugh era?
I don't see it happening here. The 49ers' problems are well documented. Their offense hasn't moved the ball the past two weeks. Aldon Smith is suspended. Patrick Willis is hurt and may not play. Vernon Davis is a game-time decision. Yes, the 49ers have lost their mojo. But they still are much superior to the Rams. The Rams very well could be 0-3 if not for the Cardinals blowing an 11-point fourth-quarter lead against them opening week. The Rams fell 21 points behind the Falcons, who haven't looked good, and then were absolutely destroyed by Dallas last week. DeMarco Murray came to life to bash the Rams for 175 yards rushing, averaging nearly seven yards per carry. The 49ers can bash the Rams' defense too, behind one of the best offensive lines in football with the running of Frank Gore and Colin Kapernick operating option plays. Kaepernick is going to be tougher to handle playing on turf. The Rams have covered all four of the matchups between the two teams under Jeff Fisher. There's no way the 49ers will underestimate St. Louis in this matchup. St. Louis has become one dimensional with no running game. That puts the entire onus on Sam Bradford, who is far from an elite quarterback. I would easily take Kaepernick over Bradford. The Rams have improved their speed,but their offense is a work in progress way too over reliant on passing.
