I always hate weighing in on these things because I'm about 50/50. The Giants are +4 in turnover ratio (8th) and the Rams are +2 (12th). The Giants are better at stopping the run, and the Rams are better at stopping the pass (by a lot). You have to figure that the Niners are going to run the ball initially, but they'll probably go away from that pretty quickly if Eli gets an early start. If that turns into a shootout, you can expect both teams to put up some numbers. The Rams' game is probably going to be low-scoring and they've had 10 days to find new and inventive ways to confuse Tannehill, who hasn't seen 1/8th of what defenses can throw at him yet.Sgt. Ram said:Hey guys I picked up rams defense, should I play them against the dolphins or stick with giants against the 49ers..help me decide. Of course my homer heart wants to go with the rams, what say you?
Thanks X...I am leaning towards rams.X said:I always hate weighing in on these things because I'm about 50/50. The Giants are +4 in turnover ratio (8th) and the Rams are +2 (12th).

Safe bet is probably the Rams, but don't take my advice.
libertadrocks said:I would go with the Rams because of how secure SF is with the ball and how good their OL is. TOs and sacks are the drivers of fantasy points for a D. If I had to guess, Id say Giant D gives up fewer points, but the Rams D has the better fantasy day.
If it makes you feel any better I drop the Giants D this week. Picked up Minny instead.

Lol...I do not have any 49ers on my team, as a matter of fact , I do not have any NFC west players other than rams of course. I still remember Ken Norton punching out the goal post at Busch, I will never have a 49er on my team. Their coach irritates me also.
