Scoring a single touchdown in two of your first three games won’t do a lot to gain public trust, and that appears to be the case with the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night.
Despite the Niners being favored — the spread was -1.5 as of Monday afternoon — the public is backing the Los Angeles Rams to not only cover, but to win outright, according to data from Tipico Sportsbook.
The Rams have received 73% of bets against the spread and 74% of moneyline bets. As for total handle, 69% of money on the spread and 59% of the moneyline handle is all on the Rams.
Bettors are expecting a different outcome than the recent meetings between these teams with San Francisco taking six straight regular season games over LA, though the Rams did win their playoff meeting last year.
The public also likes the point total over, with 73% of total bets on the over and 87% of the handle.
