After a wild Week 1, we saw eight Underdogs win outright! This will be a common theme throughout the season. It started with the Lions beating the defending champs on Thursday night and ended with the Jets taking down Josh Allen and the Bills despite losing Aaron Rodgers for the season. As good and bad as some teams looked, it’s important to expect some opposite outcomes for Week 2, as teams will bounce back after ugly week 1 games. Let’s dive into our best Week 2 Underdog bets for Rams vs. 49ers.

NFL Week 2 Top Underdog Bets: Rams vs. 49ers
Los Angeles Rams (+8) vs. San Francisco 49ers
The 49ers will travel to Los Angeles to face the Rams in a week 2 divisional rivalry. These teams do not like each other and typically play a violent game in the trenches. The Rams scored 30 points in a big week 1 win, yet they come into a Week 2 home game as 8-point underdogs. Everyone is ready to crown the 49ers as NFC champs after one week, but I’m not there yet. Yes, they played a great game, but they will not go undefeated this season and will have some struggles, like every other team.
The Rams’ offensive line improved greatly in Week 1 compared to last season, as they didn’t give up a single sack against the Seahawks. This will be the matchup of the day, as the 49ers have a formidable defensive line with the great Nick Bosa and Co. The Rams will need to be disciplined here to keep this game close.
The Rams young Wide Receiver core will need to replicate their week 1 performance in order for Stafford to have some success. I believe this 49er secondary is one of their weakest units on the team and could be enough for guys like Puka Nacua and Tyler Higbee to find some holes in this defense that lost Demeco Ryans as their Defensive Coordinator. The battle in the trenches will define this game.
I like the Rams to play tough and take the 49ers to the wire in a close game.
Bet: Rams +8 vs. 49ers (-118)
