Comparable to the 2018 season the Rams and 49ers have had quite a role reversal. San Francisco was one of the biggest flops one year ago. This year’s success was what was expected last year. Correspondingly the betting on NFL dynamics of the Niners is just now catching up to that new reality. Counter to that is a Rams team that was a Super Bowl loser to the Patriots. Los Angeles coach Sean McVay was being touted as the bright new mind that would reinvent the game. But after stumbling out of the gate the Rams have been on tilt.
