Rams at 49ers predictions: Point spread, total, player props, trends for ‘Monday Night Football’ in Week 10
The Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers will put a bow on Week 10 in the NFL when these two NFC West rivals go toe to toe at Levi’s Stadium during “Monday Night Football.” L.A. captured the attention of the league this week after it was able to sign wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. following his release from the Browns. His addition has proven to be more of a necessity than the luxury it was initially billed as after fellow Rams receiver Robert Woods suffered a season-ending ACL tear during Friday’s practice. That injury now thrusts Beckham into a bigger role within the offense as he’s set to make his Rams debut. Meanwhile, the 49ers are looking to rebound following a loss to a hobbled Cardinals team in Week 9.
Below, we’ll specifically be looking at the different betting angles that this prime-time matchup has in store for us. We’ll be taking a look at how the lines have moved throughout the week leading into Monday night and, of course, give you our picks for this game along with a handful of our favorite player props.

Line movement
Latest Odds:
San Francisco 49ers
+3.5
The early spread for this game prior to Week 9 had the Rams as a field goal favorite. However, once the dust settled on last week’s slate, the spread jumped up to Rams -4.5. It didn’t hang at the number long coming out of Sunday, falling to Rams -4 and then hitting Rams -3.5 by Wednesday. It’s largely stood firm at that number and remains Rams -3.5 on the eve of this head-to-head.
The pick: Rams -4. Los Angeles will be looking to rebound following a surprisingly flat showing against the Tennessee Titans in Week 9, which I expect they will. Sean McVay’s team is 12-3-1 ATS in their last 16 games following a loss. Meanwhile, the 49ers were torched at home last week by Colt McCoy, who completed nearly 85% of his passes. That’s way more troublesome as this Rams offense is much more potent than the hobbled Cardinals unit they faced last week, even if L.A. is without Woods for the rest of the season.
Key trend: 49ers are 0-4 ATS in their last four home games.
Over/Under total
The total for this game has climbed considerably since the early look opened at 46.5. It shot all the way to 48 just before Week 9 kicked off and continued to balloon coming out of Sunday. By last Monday, the total stood at 49.5 and is now 50.5 coming into this prime-time matchup.
The pick: Under 50.5. One way Kyle Shanahan could elect to limit the Rams’ offense is by simply keeping the unit on the sideline by running the football. Hammering the ground game is already his preference and both of these teams average about 25 rushing attempts per game. Meanwhile, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that L.A. struggles to find its footing as it works its way past losing Woods. For what it’s worth, the Under is 6-2 in their last eight meetings in San Francisco.
Key trend: Under is 3-1-1 in Rams last five games overall.
- Passing touchdowns: 2.5 (Over +165, Under -200)
- Passing yards: 280.5 (Over -115, Under -115)
- Total interceptions: 0.5 (Over +110, Under -140)
- Completions: 24.5 (Over -115, Under -115)
- Passing attempts: 36.5 (over -110, Under -120)
- Longest passing completion: 37.5 (Over -115, Under -115)
- Rushing yards: 2.5 (Over -120, Under -110)
I’ll lean Over on Stafford’s passing yards prop of 280.5. He’s gone over this total in six of his nine games, including three straight coming into Monday. This number could be a bit lower than normal with Woods out for the year, but San Francisco ranks 25th in the NFL against the pass in DVOA and is allowing 7.2 yards per attempt. Opposing quarterbacks are also completing 68.5% of their passes against this secondary.
- Passing touchdowns: 1.5 (Over +110, Under -140)
- Passing yards: 248.5 (Over +105, Under -135)
- Total interceptions: 0.5 (Over -125, Unver -105)
- Completions: 21.5 (Over -130, Under +100)
- Passing attempts: 32.5 (Over -130, Under +100)
- Longest passing completion: 36.5 (Over -115, Under -115)
- Rushing yards: 3.5 (Over -115, Under -115)
Opposing quarterbacks are averaging nearly 39 pass attempts per game against Rams this season. If that trend holds, the Over would hit in Garoppolo’s attempts prop for Monday night. The Rams are also allowing around 248 passing yards per game this season, which sits right on the line of Garoppolo’s prop for this game. Over the last two weeks, Garoppolo is averaging 324 yards passing.
Player props to consider
George Kittle total receiving yards: Over 56.5 (-110). Kittle looked like his old self last week, logging 101 receiving yards in his first game action since Week 4. While the Rams have a stout defense, Kittle has found success against this group in the past, averaging 92.3 yards per game in his seven career matchups with Los Angeles.
Tyler Higbee total receptions: Over 4.5 (+115). Woods’ targets will need to go somewhere and Higbee is tied with Van Jefferson for the third-most targets (46) on the team coming into Week 10. He’s also fresh off a five-catch performance against the Titans in Week 9. Getting this at plus money does feel like solid value.
The Philadelphia Eagles’ quarterback woes appear to be over.
The saga of Carson Wentz and Nick Foles, while entertaining and providing the city of Philadelphia with a Super Bowl, proved to be a mere stopgap on their way to finding a superstar.
Jalen Hurts has been a key contributor for the Eagles this season, one of the main reasons they have made it back to the Super Bowl.
Ahead of Sunday’s game, Hurts provided a legendary quote about his season thus far.

When asked about his best play of the season, Hurts responded with, “Season isn’t over yet,” implying that the Super Bowl should be filled with highlight plays.
Hurts is an MVP candidate, and his highlight reel from the season up to this point has been nothing short of spectacular.
In the Super Bowl, the Eagles will be facing Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs.
Mahomes is a fellow MVP candidate and will look to provide a few highlight plays of his own.
Even though the Chiefs should be a tough test for the Eagles, Hurts will be looking to put the game away, with his ability to throw the ball efficiently, along with using his legs to pick up extra yardage.
The Eagles offense has been incredible all season.
Which team will prevail on the league’s biggest stage?
There is a slight possibility that either Mahomes or Hurts will win league MVP and Super Bowl MVP, depending on how the next week plays out.
Either way, this should be one of the most high-scoring Super Bowls in the last several seasons.
NFL fans, buckle up for this one.

PHOENIX — Seven-time Pro Bowl receiver A.J. Green retired on Monday after 12 seasons in the NFL.
The 34-year-old spent a decade with the Cincinnati Bengals before signing with the Arizona Cardinals for the last two seasons of his career.
Selected by the Bengals with the No. 4 overall pick of the 2011 draft out of Georgia, Green was a Pro Bowl selection in each of his first seven seasons, topping 1,000 yards receiving six times.
The 6-foot-4, 207-pounder had a rare blend of size and speed and his low-key personality made him a favorite among teammates. He teamed with quarterback Andy Dalton to lead the Bengals to the playoffs every year from 2011 to 2015, though they never won a game in the postseason.

“I’ve never been a man of many words, so I’ll keep this short,” Green wrote in an Instagram post. “Thank you. Thank you to all who have supported, encouraged, and inspired me throughout my career.
“Special thank you to the University of Georgia, Cincinnati Bengals, and Arizona Cardinals for the opportunity to pursue my dreams. I’ve stayed true to the game and it owes me nothing. Be blessed.. Love y’all! The next chapter begins?”
He missed the 2019 season with an ankle injury, but returned to the Bengals in 2020.
Green was solid in his first season with the Cardinals in 2021, catching 54 passes for 848 yards and three TDs. His production dipped to 24 catches for 236 yards and two TDs this season, though he remained a popular presence in the Cardinals locker room.
He finishes his career with 10,514 yards receiving — which ranks 44th in NFL history — and had 70 touchdown catches.
