The San Francisco 49ers (6-7) can take a large step toward reentering the NFC West race and NFC playoffs picture with a win over the Los Angeles Rams (7-6) on Thursday night.
After three straight losses, the 49ers got right in a big way last week with a 38-13 romp over the Chicago Bears. Quarterback Brock Purdy threw for 325 passing yards and a pair of scores to receiver Jauan Jennings.
Rookie 49ers running back Isaac Guerendo was terrific as well, carrying 15 times for 78 yards and catching a pair of passes for 50 yards. Guerendo’s status against the Rams was listed as questionable on Wednesday, though.
Meanwhile, the Rams picked up one of the biggest wins of Week 14 in their 44-42 victory over the Buffalo Bills. Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford passed for 320 yards and a pair of scores in Los Angeles’ win over Buffalo.
The Rams won the two teams’ first meeting this season, 27-24, on Sept. 22. Los Angeles rallied back from a pair of 14-point deficits to stun the 49ers with a late, 37-yard Joshua Karty field goal.
With San Francisco trying to slice into the Seattle Seahawks‘ lead in the NFC West, Thursday night against the Rams is a must-win.

49ers vs Rams predictions, picks, odds
49ers 30, Rams 27: Operating on a short week and without left tackle Trent Williams, the 49ers still take advantage of a Rams secondary that has been giving up plenty of plays in the passing game.
Though it’s right down to the wire, San Francisco handles its business at home and moves its record back to .500 on the season.
