Game Time: 4:15 PM ET Sunday, November 14

Stadium: Candlestick Park – San Francisco, CA

The St. Louis Rams divisional champ hopes rest on the shoulders of their number one overall draft pick, Sam Bradford. In the Rams last 3 games, Bradford has thrown 5 touchdowns and 0 interceptions which has made him the talk of the town in St. Louis.

The San Francisco 49ers still have questions at quarterback, where in their last game, backup Troy Smith had to replace Alex Smith because of Alex’s poor performance. Troy did his part and led the 49ers to a victory over Denver.

This game should be a high scoring match-up when these two teams meet today.
