49ers vs. Rams Parlay Tonight
- Matthew Stafford Over 22.5 Completions
- Jauan Jennings Anytime Touchdown
- Ricky Pearsall 40+ Receiving Yards
Parlay Odds: +1900 (DraftKings)
Matthew Stafford Over 22.5 Completions
Grant Neiffer: Matthew Stafford has hit this over in six of eight games with both Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp in the lineup.
Additionally, the Rams are the underdog in this matchup, which also has a high total. As a result, I'm expecting a game script that calls for the Rams to be passing often.
Jauan Jennings Anytime Touchdown
Gilles Gallant: Jauan Jennings leads the 49ers in target share against zone defenses and has six touchdowns in six games without Brandon Aiyuk.
Also, the Rams' defense has allowed 17 touchdowns to receivers, which ranks among the bottom three in the NFL.
Ricky Pearsall 40+ Receiving Yards
Sean Koerner: Ricky Pearsall’s rookie season has been all over the place, and I think we’ve officially hit rock bottom. Pearsall has a one catch for five yards over the past four games and maybe his struggles will continue tonight, but this feels like the perfect buy-low spot.
The second Aiyuk tore his ACL, Pearsall got thrown into a top-three receiver role, and he actually looked solid to start, putting up 3/21/0, 4/38/0 and 4/73/1 receiving lines.
A lot of this comes down to timing. Pearsall missed so much time early that he’s still playing catch-up, but the opportunity is there. He’s running routes on 70% of dropbacks and getting open, but it’s just not clicking yet.
Tonight feels like a “get right” spot. The Rams play zone at the fourth-highest rate in the league, which should work in Pearsall’s favor. With corner back Cobie Durant out, Los Angeles' secondary is even thinner. Pearsall could find the soft spots in the zone and may even get a shot at a deep ball or two.
