Teams have played each other three times in a single season 22 times in the Super Bowl Era. 14 times, it was a three game sweep.
...having said that...I can't imagine the Rams lose this game. The pride alone should will them to a win. NFC Championship. More Niner fans in the stands than Rams fans. A chance to host both an NFC Championship game and a Super Bowl in your own building.
I mean could you just imagine what it would do to your ego to have a division rival come into your house, beat you a third time, deny you a chance at the Super Bowl...and worse...should they win, WIN the Super Bowl in your building when you had TWO chances to end their season?
I mean there would be Levis South jokes FOREVER.
I just can't see the Rams letting that happen.
