EARTH CITY, Mo. -- It's Friday morning which means it's time to take a spin around the ESPN.com dial and get the experts' takes on this weekend's Rams-49ers game.

We'll start with the experts' picks all placed in one spot. To the surprise of no one, the Rams aren't getting much love in this matchup.

The NFL Live Crew also made its picks with a similar theme.

NFL Insider Mike Sando delivers his weekly analysis with a little help from NumberFire.

As always, my own pick will be up Friday afternoon and, spoiler alert, it's pretty consistent with the rest of these choices. Tough, tough matchup for the banged-up Rams this week.
