49ers @ Rams

The read

• Taken as a straight spread, not part of a same-game parlay — the 49ers flew in nearly a week early to beat the 17-hour time change to Melbourne, while the Rams stayed on California time off a 15-hour flight.
• Shanahan-McVay is a dogfight regardless of roster gap (8-11 SU in 19 meetings, only 4 decided by more than a field goal).
• Market disagrees hard — line moved -2.5 to -3.5 all summer with Rams taking 59% of tickets and 81% of the handle, so this fades real public and sharp money on a short week.
