- DraftKings is offering new users $200 in bonus bets after a $5 wager, paid within 21 days, as part of its promo around the Rams vs. 49ers Australia game
- SportsLine Projection Model backs the Rams to cover as 3.5-point favorites, projecting a Rams cover in 57% of its 10,000 simulations of the game
- SportsLine expert R.J. White is targeting Brock Purdy over 33.5 pass attempts (-126), citing Mac Jones averaging 41 attempts in his two 2025 starts against the Rams as evidence the 49ers will air it out from behind
- SportsLine expert Eric Cohen is betting Christian McCaffrey under 59.5 rushing yards (-110), pointing to McCaffrey's age (30), 450 touches in 2025, and a Rams defensive line 'MUCH stronger' after the Myles Garrett trade
- A same-game parlay combining all three picks pays +266 (risk $100 to profit $475, odds subject to change) at DraftKings
- The Rams sit at +500 Super Bowl odds at DraftKings — the shortest of any team in the league — behind reigning MVP Matthew Stafford (4,707 passing yards, 46 TDs) and a defense boosted by the Garrett acquisition
Why it matters: The Rams are +500 to win the Super Bowl — the shortest odds of any NFL team — behind MVP Stafford and a defense now headlined by Myles Garrett. Bettors are flying blind on the league's first Australia game, but the model projects a Rams cover in 57% of simulations and experts see the 49ers forced into catch-up mode against an upgraded LA defense, driving Purdy's volume.
