The 49ers are coming off of another loss at Levi’s Stadium this season where they managed to put up only three points. After getting last weekend off, they returned to the team’s facilities on Monday morning to a controversy surrounding Colin Kaepernick and his likability in the locker room. Multiple reports came out claiming the locker room is divided and that no one likes Kaepernick within the 49ers’ organization.

The frustration is at its boiling point on the season and the team that was in the Super Bowl just two seasons ago is now at its breaking point. Many are already calling the season a loss with the 2-5 record for the red and gold. With the Cardinals looking like the dominant team in the NFC West, the 49ers slight chance at the post season appears to be over. However, pride is still involved, and the 49ers are at the cellar of the league.

This week the 49ers will square up against the (3-3) St. Louis Rams. The Rams are surprisingly in second place in the NFC West and have lots to play for as they remain in the hunt to catch Arizona. The Rams are favored by 9.5 points on Thursday entering the contest, as San Francisco has yet to find the win column on the road in 2015. This week doesn’t look too promising either, as the Rams took care of the Cardinals a few weeks back 24-22, a team that blew out the 49ers.

Look for potential offensive rookie of the year, Todd Gurley to have another explosive day for the Rams as he was just awarded the rookie of the month for October with 442 yards on the season for two touchdowns. The Rams new quarterback Nick Foles has thrown for 1119 yards on the season and without safety Antone Bethea he’ll look to torch the San Francisco secondary. His primary target has been Kenny Britt with 442 yards and two touchdowns. The Rams like to spread the ball around a lot with five receivers all over 165 catching yards.

St. Louis also has a stingy rush defense allowing only 649 yards on the year.

It’s going to be another long day for the 49ers offense if they play similar to last week. The inconsistency this year is one of the main effects to their poor play.

Having zero trust in the offense against a division rival, prediction: Rams 27 49ers 3
