The Quick Answer: Two Underdog NFL picks today for 49ers-Rams: Myles Garrett (LAR) Higher 0.75 sacks and De'Zhaun Stribling (SF) Higher 33.5 receiving yards, both built on the same unknown, a San Francisco passing game that is still sorting out who plays where. The reasoning for each, the video, and the current Underdog offer with code OS1 are below.
Thursday Night Football sends the NFC West down under: the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams meet in Melbourne, Australia, with kickoff at 8:35 p.m. ET. Eric Lindquist's two Underdog Fantasy plays for the game come from one idea. The Niners' receiving corps is full of unknowns about who plays, where, and how much, and that uncertainty cuts two ways: it makes life harder on Brock Purdy (SF) and his timing, which feeds the Rams' pass rush, and it opens the door for the rookie receiver who will be hard to keep off the field. Both picks are below, as called in the video, followed by the current Underdog offer for new users.
The Picks: 49ers Vs. Rams, Thursday, September 10
| Player | Stat | Line | Call |
|---|---|---|---|
| Myles Garrett (LAR) | Sacks | 0.75 | Higher |
| De'Zhaun Stribling (SF) | Receiving yards | 33.5 | Higher |
Myles Garrett Higher 0.75 Sacks
The matchup within the matchup tonight is Garrett, the Rams' bombshell offseason acquisition, working the edge against Trent Williams (SF), perhaps the best left tackle in all of football. On paper that is a reason to pass. The case for the Higher is everything happening behind Williams. With the Niners still unsettled at receiver, who plays, where they line up, and how much they play, Purdy's timing is at risk of being off, and a quarterback holding the ball a beat longer is exactly what an edge rusher of Garrett's class feeds on. Fresh off setting the NFL single-season sack record in 2025, Garrett is not just live to get to the quarterback here. The read is that he will get there.
The price backs the read: Underdog lists this at its standard 1.87x multiplier, nothing shaded, which the video calls by far the best price to jump in on this play. Before you enter it, compare it against the books' price for one or more sacks on the live NFL sacks prop odds page, which puts every major book's number side by side, the same odds comparison the NFL Underdog picks strategy guide walks through.
De'Zhaun Stribling Higher 33.5 Receiving Yards
Speaking of the Niners' unknowns, the flip side of the Garrett case is the rookie out of Ole Miss. It would be hard to keep Stribling off the field even if Mike Evans (SF) and George Kittle (SF) were fully good to go. Stribling wowed in camp and in preseason game action, and he ran a 4.36 40 at a size that kind of speed does not usually come with. Sprinkle in the Kyle Shanahan offense and the potential for a lot of late-game passing on the Niners' side, and the unknown becomes the reason to play it, not the reason to stay away.
That is the call: embrace the unknown with Stribling. The same receiver uncertainty that powers the Garrett pick is what puts the rookie on the field. Line shopping matters more on a rookie's number than on a veteran's, so check the live NFL receiving yards prop odds to see how the books are pricing him, and if the Higher/Lower format is new to you, player props betting explained covers how a line like 33.5 gets set and settled.
