00:00All right, this is what, this is a tough one to handicap because we know that the Rams
00:07don't have Puka Nukua or Cooper Cup and some key defensive players.
00:12So going into this game, the odds makers made the line San Francisco minus seven and a half.
00:16And it seemed a little stout, like that's a big number.
00:19And then all of a sudden we heard earlier this week that Joey Bosa is banged up.
00:23George Kittle, who they said wasn't banged up by the way last week, right?
00:27Remember that they said he was, it was just a cramp.
00:29Now all of a sudden it's a hamstring, hard to trust these 49ers with any of these injuries.
00:34That line has crashed down, San Francisco now minus six and a half point favorites total
00:39of 43 and a half in a normal scenario, Vinny, with all the offensive players that these
00:43two teams have.
00:44This total would have been 46, 47, somewhere along those lines.
00:49Is there some concern on now both sides of the ball here?
00:52Yeah, I think there is some concern with George Kittle and if he's not out there because you
00:58already have Debo Samuel down, you have Christian McCaffrey down.
01:01How many weapons can these teams withstand being out of the lineup and still produce?
01:06Well, the 49ers still have plenty here.
01:08Jordan Mason has run well, their running game should be fine in this one to control the
01:14action.
01:15And Brandon Ayuk has not gotten going.
01:16But keep in mind also the 49ers have wanted to explode a little bit offensively.
01:20It's been hard to do that.
01:21The Jets and Vikings defenses are playing well.
01:23The Rams defense is terrible right now.
01:26It cannot stop anything.
01:29I think the 49ers have enough depth there with all their skilled players and we'll see
01:33maybe some new faces make some plays where they'll be okay.
01:36Where I think on the other side, the Rams, this is going to be very difficult to move
01:40the ball because they're also missing a key offensive lineman, Jonah Jackson.
01:45So running the ball with Kyra Williams is going to be a grind.
01:47These guys can't separate and get open.
01:49Where I think the 49ers at least will have Ayuk on the field and that can make a big
01:53difference here in their offensive strategy with Jordan Mason probably playing closer
01:57to the game.
