The San Francisco 49ers and Los Angeles Rams meet on Thursday night in an NFC West matchup that is crucial to both teams’ playoff hopes.

If the postseason began today, neither team would be on the field. The Seattle Seahawks (8-5) are in control of the division, while the Rams (7-6) and 49ers (6-7) are on the outside looking in at the NFC wild card picture. A loss on Thursday would deal a major blow to the Rams’ postseason hopes or nearly knock the 49ers out of contention. There is a lot at stake.

Each team achieved an impressive victory. The 49ers ended a three-game losing streak with a commanding 38-13 victory over the Bears on Sunday and looked like the reigning NFC champions for the first time in a long time. They will play without left tackle Trent Williams and with a depleted running back room that misses Christian McCaffrey and Jordan Mason. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that RB Isaac Guerendo planned to play Thursday, while DE is Nick Bosa probably play if he feels good before the game.

The Rams are coming off one of the best wins of the NFL season, a 44-42 thriller over the Bills in which they overcame six total touchdowns from Josh Allen. Which versions of the Rams and 49ers will show up on Thursday?
