48.5 points is Micah Roberts’ top lean for Thursday’s season opener in Melbourne, where the Rams are 3.5-point favorites over the 49ers and sit at -198 on the money line.
Two top-10 offenses drive that call: Los Angeles led the NFL in yards at 394.6 per game and scoring at 30.5 last season, while San Francisco ranked seventh in yards and 10th in points.
