The money is on the Over: it opened 64.5 @ -115 before it was bet up to 73.5 @ -110.
PROS:

  • The San Francisco 49ers are projected to run 64.0 plays in this matchup, the #9-most on the game slate.
  • San Francisco has been the #6-most run-heavy offense in the NFL this year with a 42.2% run rate in a neutral context.

  • CONS:

  • The offensive line is crucial to open up holes, and San Francisco's ranks #30 in that regard this season.
  • This year, the 49ers have played in the #6-most games with 15 mph+ winds. Because teams tend to run more when it's windy, San Francisco's play-calling Run% may appear higher than it ought to be.
  • Teams run the ball less when winds are light, and forecasts call for 0-mph wind in this game.
  • In a neutral context, San Francisco has run the #29-fastest paced offense this season.
  • The 49ers enter as a 3.5 point underdog. This indicates a passing game script.
  • The Rams defense has allowed 102 rushing yards per game to opponents this year, #6-least in football.
  • The Los Angeles Rams have allowed 4.01 yards per attempt on the ground this year, putting them #4-best in the metric this season.

  • The linebackers of Los Angeles have been the #8-most effective unit among all teams in 2021.
  • The safeties of Los Angeles have been the #3-most effective unit among all teams in 2021.

  • NEUTRAL:
  • This week, THE BLITZ projects Mitchell for a -0.3% higher carry share than he has garnered this season (perhaps due to team injuries, a change in role, or matchup dynamics), one of the most notable differences of the week.
  • THE BLITZ projects this offense as the #21-most run-heavy of the week (based on team tendencies and matchup factors), expecting them to run on 37.3% of their plays.

  • PROJECTION:
    THE BLITZ projects Mitchell to exceed his player prop total 39.7% of the time. He projects for 59.4 Rushing Yards (on average) in this matchup.

    According to THE BLITZ, there is positive value on the UNDER, with an expected value of $12.57. That makes its return on investment yield +10%.
