The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams will battle it out in the NFC Championship game, and here are five daring predictions for the game.
On Sunday, two NFC West teams will battle it out in the NFC Championship game with a spot in the Super Bowl at stake. For these two teams, this will be the third time they have played against each other this season, and for the Los Angeles Rams, they have had their problems with the San Francisco 49ers in recent history.
With that said, match no. 3 of this game this season has everything at stake, and we’re looking at some daring predictions for Sunday’s NFC Championship game.
NFC Championship Game: 5 Bold Predictions for 49ers Vs. Rams
5. Matthew Stafford doubles Jimmy Garoppolo’s passing total
While Jimmy Garoppolo ended his 2021 regular season with more than 300 yards against the Los Angeles Rams, he did not come close to that during the playoffs. Garoppolo played on the road against the Dallas Cowboys and Green Bay Packers, and combined only 303 yards and has yet to find the finish zone through the air.
Matthew Stafford, on the other hand, is fresh off a 366-yard effort against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and the Rams will try to continue to move the ball through the air this Sunday against Los Angeles. This 49ers team did an excellent job against the pass this offseason and shut out Dak Prescott and Aaron Rodgers, but Stafford will likely double Jimmy G’s passing yard output in this one.
