HQ presented by Navy Federal Credit Union Thursday Night Football tonight Rams and 49ers Rams just a game out of first place they’ve been hot lot of people taking them to win the division yeah I mean really it’s even though the Seahawks are right ahead Seahawks are are game ahead but horrible schedule Rams have a head-to-head win against them as well and the Seahawks have to go to LA to finish the season so the Rams control their own fate right now if they win out they will be the champions in the NFC this is a last gasp effort for the 49ers to try to stay in the division race tonight let’s break it down with Le duable and Bryant mcfaden Le we kind of laid it out there I I I feel like talking to you earlier in the week you’re kind of leading toward this Rams team as the team to beat in this division because of the win against Seattle earlier because the way the schedule uh comes out and because of the way the Rams have been playing lately yeah without a doubt this is one Team B Mack has that everybody on the NFC side is praying doesn’t get into the playoffs because they were probably one of if not the hottest team in football right now more specifically on the offensive side I think people tend to forget earlier this year their offensive line was banged up for the five starters weren’t in the lineup they’re back and healthy and they look really good last week versus the Buffalo Bills and then when you add the fact that Cooper cup puka AA and also Kyon Williams when they’re in the lineup with Matt Stafford he’s 11 and5 over the last two years this is an explosive offense that has the best plate CER in all of football and sha McVey I mean BM they spread you out horizontally vertically they make you have great eye discipline and then they also have a physical run game as well now the defense is very young right and you have to live with that if you’re sh MC Bay developing some of those younger guys to play well and those guys will be good down the stretch but this offense man it is so tough to contend with has I actually still have SE ad of winning this division because of this game tonight and we’ll talk about this later in this segment but San Fran for some reason always had the Rams number this is a massive game tonight for both teams in the month of December either you’re thriving or surviving right in the Rams they’re thriving to your point Sean McVey you said he was the best play caller in the NFC I think he’s the best head coach in the NFC when you look at his overall resume especially what he did a year ago being able to get that team that we watched in 2023 somehow into the playoffs and they lost basically by a possession to the Detroit Lions and then once again you talked about all the injuries they had to endure on the offensive side offensive lineman both wide receivers missing time missing some guys on the defensive side and all they did was weather the storm and now because they’re healthy they’re playing better football they’re playing with a lot of confidence and to your point Matthew Stafford still has the juice to get the job done so this is a team that has champion ship experience don’t forget about that they still have Championship experience not to mention how prepared they’ve been and defensively they just need to make the the the routine plays happen routinely get the necessary stops to be able to give your offense extra possessions this is a team to your point Le you have to monitor because if they get an opportunity to get into the tournament man look up look out they could make some noise and then on the other side you have the 49ers who are hanging on by a thread and sports line giving them less than a 5% chance Le to make the playoffs because it’s a really tough schedule I mean sure you’ve got all the injuries and all that but you you’ve got Rams tonight then at Dolphins lions at Cardinals to finish the season but Li if they win this game are they still in it oh 100% they’re still in it San Francisco has proven time and time again that they have the pedigree to win out down the stretch they’ve done it multiple times this is a team that routinely starts slow and I was one that came out and said two weeks ago that they were done but it seem like they’re getting healthy at the right time H you alluded to it right their schedule was a gaet starting tonight versus the LA Rams and divisional foe then they have the Miami Dolphins who are fighting for their playoff lives the Detroit Lions who are trying to solidify themselves as the number one seed in the NFC and then the Cardinals on the outside looking in too so you’re talking about playing four straight games of playoff caliber teams but you see it right there they’ve owned the LA Rams and there’s a caveat to that when you look at that that Nine and Nine wins three losses right one of those losses happened in the NFC championship game in 2021 and then last year let’s not forget in week 18 they rested all those starters because they already solidified themselves as the number one seed in the NFC so they have dominated the Rams the last five years and then even more so at Levi Stadium so when you look at this 49ers team they’re getting healthy at the right time right Jan Dennings has missed some games he’s back George KD is a weak removed from the injury that he had he looked like he was all the way back last week Brock py had the shoulder injury right he L like he had no effects last week versus Chicago Bears they were able to run the ball with Isaac gindo it doesn’t seem like it matters which back is in the back field because Kyle Shanahan knows how to scheme it up and even on the defensive side when you don’t have a guy like Nick uh Bosa gr Motas uh uh gross Matas steps up and gets three sacks last week and L Floyd adds one as well so they’ve had a lot of guys step up now it’s a gauntlet of a schedule down the stretch but if they were to win this one tonight has there’s no other team that I trust more because of the pedigree that they have that they could potentially go on a run yeah to your point Le this still is a talented talented team even with some of the injuries they’re still battling but for me when it comes to the San Francisco 49ers starting last week every game from here on out is like a game seven you win you keep moving on you lose you go home so they have to have that mentality and I love what I saw from the San Francisco 49ers last week the sense of urgency for this ball Club they came out firing on all cylinders because they knew they had no room for error can they C can they sustain that level especially in tonight’s matchup because this is a meaningful game for either side in terms of playoffs hopes because both teams are chasing the Seattle Seahawks but so to your point Le I’m right there with you if the San Francisco 49ers can find their groove right and keep this thing rolling because of their talent and because would be healthier towards the end of the season this could be a dangerous team as well you’d think that number that 4% percentage would would rise with a win tonight it does but not by a lot Sports Line only giving them a 6% chance to make the postseason even after a win tonight and they’re still dealing with major injuries going into this game Trent Williams has already been ruled out but Nick Bosa could return for the first time in in close to a month He’s listed as questionable we know about the running back issues with gendo questionable but it seems like whoever they put in at running back uh is going to go off and and be just fine and be a real fantasy Factor more on that in just a minute but let’s get to x x factors in this game and bmac I’ll let you start us off who is your X Factor for Niners Rams tonight well for me it’s the this the Los Angeles Rams starting wide receiver puka nakua when he is healthy he is wide receiver one for this team and the reason why he’s the X Factor for me because he when he is going their offense is very very hard to to stop or slow down when you look at what we saw last week 14 targets 12 receptions for 162 yards two major touchdowns and the thing I love about puka nakua he is the momentum guy for their offense he gets the momentum going in terms of how he plays the game his ability to be productive not just in catching the football but they love utilizing him in the running game as well with some of the speed reverses they get to him the way he blocks and just the physical mentality that plays he’s almost like the amarra St Brown for their offense in in terms of doing a lot a very versatile player so when he is going their offense is better Matthew Stafford is better so if they can get puka Thea going especially early in this ball game I look for Matthew Stafford to have a heck of a day similar to what we saw last week against the Buffalo Bills yeah I like that one B Ma I’m gonna go Brock py the quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers and me and Pete prisco were having a very candid convers ation yesterday on air and when you look at it right everybody expects Brock pery to be the next big high paid quarterback right 50 plus million a lot of people say he’s a game manager I think he’s not a game manager I think he’s really elevated his game over the last few years and when you look at it he leaves the NFL in yards per attempt right and people say he’s a game man listen to this next stat has and bmac when you look at the yards after catch right because that’s what everybody says he does he text it down and then you know they have the yak Brothers on San Francisco he is third fewest in yards after catch when you look at all his passing yards right at 40% 40% of his passing yards come with gak compared to last year where it was 48% which was I think tied for 16th in the NFL so it’s not like he’s just dinking and dunking and guys are running after the catch he’s throwing the ball down the field and throwing it throwing level throws right he’s going to have to have a big game because we talked about how explosive this Rams offense is and how much points they put up versus the bills last week he’s going to have to keep Pace with Matthew Stafford Brock P needs to have a game today and solidify himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL short week some coaches do better on short weeks Kyle shanan is one of them they’ve they’ve won and covered four straight Thursday games Li Niners are favored by three points at home tonight who do you like and that’s why I like them right when you look at Brock py and Kyle shanan over the last four Thursday night games 4-0 against the spread 4 and0 straight up and then we talked about it earlier right you saw it 9 and3 since 2020 versus the Los Angeles Rams the 49ers have owned the Rams more specifically at Levi Stadium give me the 49ers Min is two and a half well I’m on the opposite side I’m taking the Los Angeles Rams you talked about how dominant the 49ers have been against the Rams no question I can’t deny that but one thing I can argue in terms of Shawn McVey and what he does in the month of December he puts forth his best coaching effort in the month of December eight years coaching there on the sideline for the Rams his overall December record is is 23 and 11 like I said in December football either you’re thriving or you’re surviving sha McVey has shown the ability to thrive I believe he will Thrive tonight BM Le thank you so much appreciate it looking forward to kicking off the week in the NFL with Rams and Niners and we are your place for the NFL all the time uh we we’ve got the my favorite show is the pick show that we do with Pete prisco and and Kyle long and I I I came across a great comment on on the CBS Sports YouTube page cuz I have a good quote coming up someone called Pete prisco a a Teemu version of Bruce Willis okay can we say that about Bruce Willis right now given everything he’s going through well yeah we can because we’re talking about Bruce Willis the actor you know the the great the action star I get it you bring e
