John Clayton hit the nail on the head when he said, "They are a team that has surprised everybody with their 5-5 start, yet it's not out of the question for them to lose 41-10 in St. Louis." The best case and worst case scenario are equally possible in this situation.
Best Case Scenario
49ers 27 - Rams 6: The Rams offensive woes continue as the 49ers defense continues it's superior play. Frank Gore continues his outstanding play and Alex Smith effectively manages yet another victory, as the 49ers pull over .500 and continue their playoff run.
Worst Case Scenario
Rams 38 - 49ers 13: The Rams offense finds itself in an explosion of the former "Greatest Show on Turf." While Frank Gore has 60+ yards rushing, he doesn't dominate and Alex Smith makes too many mistakes.
I predicted a 31-10 loss at midseason. After both teams' recent performances, this is really a tough game to call. The 49ers appear to be playing with a lot of confidence. The Rams are pretty much in the crapper lately, but I see them as a cornered animal ready to snap in defense. I'm gonna go 49ers 24 - Rams 14. I see this game being as much of a statement game as last week. A win here solidifies their confidence and keeps the heat on Seattle.
