There’s only one team in the NFC West with a winning record, and that team is the Los Angeles Rams. After three games, they’re 2-1, one game ahead of the other three teams in the division.

Yet, the oddsmakers still see them as underdogs to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 4. According to Tipico Sportsbook, the 49ers are favored by 2.5 points at home against the Rams as of Monday morning. Sportsbooks typically give the home team a 3-point cushion, so essentially, they’re viewed as evenly matched teams on a neutral field.


The over/under is set at 46.5 points in this Monday night matchup, with the Rams being +102 on the money line. That means a $100 wager will return a profit of $102.

The Rams are coming off a 20-12 win over the Cardinals on Sunday, while the 49ers lost an absolutely dreadful game to the Broncos, 11-10. That dropped them to 1-2 on the year, tied with the Cardinals and Seahawks.
