The San Francisco 49ers will host the Los Angeles Rams on Thursday Night Football in Week 15. Come chat with us during the game!

Welcome to Week 15 of the 2024 NFL regular season!

The NFC has a crazy number of teams racing to 9-8 for that seventh and final playoff spot. Both the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers are part of a seven team scrum between 6-7 and 8-5 with two other 5-8 teams potentially still having a shot. Realistically, the winner of this game keeps their season alive and the NFC West in doubt.

Kickoff is set for Thursday, December 12, 2024 at 6:15 p.m. Mile High time at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California and will air on Prime Video.

My Prediction

According to FanDuel, the 49ers are 3-point favorites over the Rams. This after the Rams won in a shootout over the Buffalo Bills last week and have also won six of their last eight games. I’m not sure what gives oddsmakers the confidence that an injury-riddled 49ers squad will be able to perform well at home against a hot team like the Rams. I think L.A. takes this game and makes that Week 18 game against the Seattle Seahawks for the division.

Prediction: Rams 31, 49ers 27.
