Rams at Seahawks: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks
Prediction
Rams 21, Seahawks 20
Money line (?)
The Rams and Seahawks typically play games that come down to the wire. I think that’ll be the case again Sunday with both teams sputtering as of late. The Seahawks barely beat Washington 20-15 in Week 15, while the Rams were stunned by the winless Jets 23-20.
The Rams will bounce back as they often do, once again avoiding back-to-back losses for the fifth time this season. Take the RAMS (+105) to win outright on the road.
Against the spread (?)
The spread is only 1.5 points, so it’s not going to have a huge impact either way, I don’t think. The Rams will have some trouble on offense once again, but not as much as the Seahawks will. Los Angeles’ defense is one of the best in the league and has the talent to match up with WRs DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
As long as the Rams don’t commit costly turnovers, they’ll win this one in a nail-biter. Take the RAMS (+1.5) to cover.
Over/Under (?)
The Seahawks offense simply isn’t as explosive or dangerous as it was to start the year. They’ve become more focused on running the ball with QB Russell Wilson throwing it less.
The Rams will be without RB Akers, which hurts the offense, and is one reason I think this game will come UNDER 47.5 points.
