Rams vs 49ers anytime touchdown scorer pick: Jauan Jennings (+160)
Odds courtesy of Bet365 and available at time of publishing.
The 49ers’ offense exploded last Sunday against the Chicago Bears — primarily their passing game. Brock Purdy threw for 325 yards and 2 touchdowns, both going to Jauan Jennings. So naturally, we’re backing Jennings coming into Thursday with the 49ers as home favorites. San Francisco has question marks in their running game, which I want to avoid as a hole. Patrick Taylor and Isaac Guerendo are both at -140 to score a touchdown at FanDuel Sportsbook — a price I’m not willing to back. Jennings and Purdy have built a rapport that’s worth investing in. Jennings has scored 6 touchdowns this season, coming off an 8-target game, and 7+ in 4 of his last 5 games. With Deebo Samuel continuing to underwhelm, Jennings feels like the safer play at a better price.

Rams vs 49ers anytime touchdown scorer pick: Puka Nacua (+130)
Odds courtesy of FanDuel and available at time of publishing.
Is it ridiculous to put Puka Nacua in the same conversation as Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase? He continues to turn heads week after week. Last Sunday, Nacua put on a show in primetime against the Bills. He scored 2 touchdowns, 1 on the ground and 1 through the air. He carried the ball 5 times and reeled in 12 of his 14 targets. He had mind-blowing catches on the sideline and continues to be Matthew Stafford’s #1 target when in a negative game script — a likely scenario we see on Thursday Night.
