Expert NFL Predictions Analysis: Jim Harbaugh might be getting run out of town by the teams owner but the 49ers talent on the playing field is in a different class than the Rams. St. Louis takes on a personality similar to their pilot Jeff Fischer; blue-collar, lunch-pail types that overachieve. San Francisco is similar in approach to St. Louis but only they have big play difference makers on both sides of the ball. San Francisco is built on a ground and pound philosophy and in what figures to be a physical game their bigger horses should outclass the Rams smaller ponies. 49ers vs Rams Betting Odds Total is at 43.5 points

Key injuries to take note of  from the 49ers are TE Vernon Davis (2.0 points spread) and LT Anthony Davis (1.0 point spread). The Rams notable injury is RB Zac Stacy (1.0 point spread). In a game that is sure to feature the ground game the 49ers with old trail horse Frank Gore should bull their way to a cover against the spread.
