In a battle for first place in the NFC West, the Los Angeles Rams (9-5) visit the Seattle Seahawks (10-4) Sunday of Week 16 for a 4:05 p.m. ET kickoff. Here’s a look at the early Rams-Seahawks betting odds and lines at BetMGM Sportsbook.
The Rams suffered a humiliating 23-20 home loss to the once winless New York Jets (1-13) in Week 15. The Rams, who were 17.5-point favorites (-2000 money line), became the fifth team since 1978 to lose when favored by at least 17 points. Los Angeles also fell a game back of Seattle atop the NFC West. After trailing 13-3 at halftime and 20-3 in the third quarter, the Rams rallied behind 2 QB Jared Goff touchdown passes and a K Matt Gay FG to cut the deficit to 23-20 with 6:35 to go. The Rams went 4-and-out on their next possession before the Jets ran out the clock for their first win of 2020. Goff finished with 209 yards with 2 TDs and 1 interception in the loss.
The Seahawks clinched a playoff spot with a 20-15 victory at the Washington Football Team in Week 15. They can clinch the NFC West title with a win vs. the Rams Sunday, but a loss would put them at a tiebreaker disadvantage since Los Angeles won the first meeting 23-16 in Week 10. Against Washington, Seattle built a 20-3 after three quarters but had to hang on for the win. QB Russell Wilson finished with 121 passing yards (1 TD, 1 INT) and 52 rushing yards on 6 carries. Seattle outrushed Washington 181-84 yards, led by RB Chris Carson’s 63 yards on 15 carries – RB Carlos Hyde added 55 yards and a TD on 2 carries.
