M.L.

San Francisco rides a 2-game losing streak into St.Louis for this important division duel Thursday evening in a matchup
of rivals sporting identical 1-2 records. Head coach Jim Harbaugh’s 2-0
SUATS mark on the road in games off a loss, by a combined score of
47-8, speaks volumes of his disdain for losing. As does his penchant
in exacting revenge for Niners’ losses from earlier meetings where
he is 12-6-1 ATS, including
4-0-1 ATS
versus foes with losing records.
The cause for concern, however, is two-fold. One: Harbaugh has
cleaned up in non-division play in the NFL (20-6-1 ATS) but struggled
in games against the NFC West (4-9 ATS), and Two: Rams head coach
Jeff Fisher is the best underdog coach in the league at 86-55-1 ATS
– including 15-6 ATS versus an opponent off back-to-back losses –
albeit 0-2 this season. So who takes the hat trick tonight? The fact
that St. Louis captured the NFC West last year thanks to a tie and a
win over Frisco, is indeed an added ulterior motive for Harbaugh in
this contest. Toss in Louie’s lousy
1-11 ATS
mark in games against
division opponents off a loss with revenge and with it Fisher falls to
0-3 ATS as a dog this season. Just like that, Harbaugh shoots... and he
scores.
The Clincher: the 49ers are 10-0 ATS in division games
with revenge against an opponent off a pair of losses.
