00:00Week number 15 around the NFL starts on this Thursday night
00:07with an awesome short week Thursday night football game. A
00:11divisional duel between the two California teams squaring off
00:15today in the NFC West. It is the San Francisco 49ers at home
00:19in Santa Clara hosting the LA Rams and now the number DRS at
00:25a flat three that field goal in favor of the 49ers. Total
00:29working its way up despite being a short week from 48 in a
00:34hook earlier this week to 49 and a half Donnie short week
00:39Thursday night football game, but the implications the
00:42ramifications of what this game means in the NFC West. You
00:47really have to put it in the context and it cannot be
00:51undersold the Rams right now a game back of the Seattle
00:55Seahawks after winning a wild and high scoring game on Sunday
01:00at home over the Buffalo Bills. The Niners snapped a three game
01:05skid on Sunday at home against the Chicago Bears to hold on to
01:09just a little bit of life in the NFC West in their playoff
01:13outlook. There is the in division rivalry, the in-state
01:18showdown and of course the personal matchup between the
01:21two head coaches Kyle Shanahan and Sean McVay. How do you
01:25see Thursday night playing out in Santa Clara? Well, first I
01:30do agree with the line here. Some people how the 49ers
01:32haven't had a good season and you know the Rams look like
01:35they're hot right now. Fun team to watch and play once again.
01:37Keep in mind road Thursday night football. One of the
01:39toughest environments that you can have and also both of these
01:42teams know each other. so we should get a good battle. The
01:4449 and a half first inclination. I say it probably should go
01:47over, but once again, it's a short work week on two teams
01:50that know each other. Are there weapons all over the place? Yes,
01:53there are, but getting to the fifties on a Thursday as we've
01:55seen so many times on prime time, maybe not the best
01:58effort, but the one thing I did like last week is we saw a
02:01glimpse of what we thought that 49ers are supposed to be not
02:03the team getting blown out and back to back performances, but
02:06Brock Purdy. What are we known for efficiency in the pocket
02:09band? Twenty of twenty-five three twenty-five and two
02:11touchdown passes are the Bears the best team in the world at
02:13four or nine out. No, they're not, but they do have a solid
02:15defense and they absolutely carved them up and the ability
02:18to say my top two running backs are down. Isaac is in fifteen
02:21for seventy-two scores. Then he gets injured at the end of the
02:24game, but it still doesn't matter. They were runaway
02:26victors in that thirty-eight to thirteen game and also the
02:30Rams. You're looking at them now with the pressure on them
02:33coming into this game and not so much on the 49ers and you
02:36must say that's crazy. If the 49ers lose, they're out of it.
02:38They're still playing from that mindset of people have already
02:41written us off. Let's just try to surprise and get back into
02:43the race. Well, the Rams now are looking. We just knocked
02:46off the Buffalo Bills. We win this game. Now you have to
02:48worry about us making a playoff run and possibly winning this
02:52division. I do think we get a lot of excitement from a lot of
02:54star players, but just to start the conversation back off then
02:57I think that minus two and a half to minus three is correct
03:00here. If you ask me to pick a side in this game, I think it's
03:03the 49ers because home field advantage is key on a Thursday
03:06night and you finally got a good taste back in your mouth
03:08of what that offense is supposed to do.
