Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks Week 1 odds and lines, with expert NFL picks and predictions.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks will kick off their seasons on Sunday with a Week 1 NFC West matchup at Lumen Field. Kickoff is at 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX). Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Rams vs. Seahawks odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Rams are coming off a dreadful 5-12 season after winning the Super Bowl 19 months ago, suffering through countless injuries and shuffling across their roster in 2022. They didn’t make many additions this offseason but they did lose several starters, including CB Jalen Ramsey, LB Bobby Wagner and LB Leonard Floyd.

The Seahawks had a surprisingly good 2022 campaign, going 9-8 with Geno Smith at quarterback in his first year with the team. Smith is back as the starter in 2023 and he’ll once again have WRs DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett at his disposal, making this an offense that could be tough to defend.

Rams at Seahawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Seahawks 30, Rams 20

Moneyline

The Seahawks (-225) are kind of heavy home favorites but this is a risky matchup as is the case with any early-season divisional game. The Rams are expected to be one of the worst teams in football but they still have QB Matthew Stafford and DL Aaron Donald, two players who have proven they can get the job done.

The moneyline isn’t worth the risk for Seattle against a Sean McVay-led team that’s 5-1 in openers since 2017, so I’m going to PASS.

Against the spread

The Rams were swept by the Seahawks last season but they managed to keep both games close. I don’t think Sunday’s matchup will be as narrow with Kupp sidelined.

The Seahawks will take care of business at home against an inexperienced defense and an offense that’s missing its only true reliable weapon.

BET SEAHAWKS -4.5 (-105).

Over/Under

I don’t expect this game to turn into a shootout because it is Week 1 and there’s some rust to knock off, but it’s hardly going to be a defensive slugfest. The Rams will struggle to stop Seattle’s offense, both through the air and on the ground, which will in turn force Stafford to throw it more often.

I like the OVER 46 (-110).

Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

For the second time this season, the Los Angeles Rams (5-11) and Seattle Seahawks (8-8) will square off in an NFC West rivalry game. The Seahawks will be the home team in the season finale, looking to sweep the defending Super Bowl champions in 2022. Kickoff is set for 4:25 p.m. ET (FOX) from Lumen Field. Below, we analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Rams vs. Seahawks odds, and make our expert NFL picks and predictions.

The Rams were steamrolled by the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17, losing 31-10 at SoFi Stadium. They failed to cover the spread as 6.5-point underdogs, dropping their ATS record to 6-9-1. The Rams have the 2nd-fewest yards in the NFL this season (4,500) and rank 26th in scoring (291 points). Defensively, they’re 17th in yards allowed (5,396).

The Seahawks are still alive in the NFC playoff race. They need a win vs. the Rams and a loss by the Green Bay Packers (at home vs. the Detroit Lions) in the Sunday night game to make the postseason. So, while this game may not mean anything for the Rams, it’s a must-win for Seattle. After starting the season 6-3, the Seahawks have gone just 2-5 in their last 7 games, losing control of the lead in the NFC West.

Rams at Seahawks picks and predictions

Prediction

Seahawks 24, Rams 16

Moneyline

The Rams nearly pulled off an upset as 7-point home underdogs in Week 13, but a late touchdown by the Seahawks resulted in a 27-23 Seattle victory. The Rams are in even worse shape now than they were then, so I don’t really see them winning this game on the road against a desperate Seattle team.

The Seahawks are stumbling, but they’ll do enough to win against an unimpressive Rams team. It’s just not worth taking them on the moneyline at -250. PASS.

Against the spread

Neither team is very good against the spread. The Rams are 6-9-1 and the Seahawks are 7-9. Los Angeles is 0-3-1 ATS as an underdog of +0.5 to +6.5 points this season, according to Covers, and L.A. has really struggled as a road dog.

I like the SEAHAWKS -5.5 (-113) at home against their rivals, knowing they need a win in order to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Over/Under

The total has only gone Over in 6 of the Rams’ 16 games, and it’s 8-8 for the Seahawks this season. In the last 7 meetings between these teams, the total has gone Under 5 times.

Neither offense is firing on all cylinders and I think the only way the total goes Over Sunday is if the Seahawks defense completely falls apart against a bad Rams offense.

LEAN UNDER 41 (-109).

Week 5 of the NFL season begins with an NFC West showdown on Thursday Night Football.

Seahawks QB Russell Wilson UNDER 1.5 passing TDs (+128)

Wilson had multiple touchdown passes in three of four games this season. However, the Rams have allowed only one quarterback to throw multiple touchdown passes in a game. That was Kyler Murray in their loss to the Cardinals last week. Wilson had only 1 touchdown pass in his last three regular-season games against the Rams.

Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks odds, picks and prediction

Analyzing Thursday’s Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks odds and lines, with expert NFL picks, predictions and best bets.

The Los Angeles Rams (3-1) and Seattle Seahawks (2-2) kick off Week 5 with Thursday Night Football when they square off at Lumen Field in Seattle. This NFC West showdown is set for 8:20 p.m. ET. Below, we look at the Rams vs. Seahawks odds and lines, and make our best NFL picks, predictions and bets.

The Rams were just blown out 37-20 by the Arizona Cardinals Sunday. The game wasn’t even as close as the score indicates, either, as it was completely lopsided in favor of the Cardinals. The Rams are still sixth in scoring, however, and have QB Matthew Stafford playing at a high level in his first season with the team.

The Seahawks snapped their two-game losing skid with a win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 4, largely thanks to QB Russell Wilson‘s three total touchdowns. Seattle has allowed the most yards in the NFL through four weeks, so it has been a struggle on that side of the ball.

Rams at Seahawks odds, lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Rams 27, Seahawks 24

Money line

The Rams are 15-5 after a loss in Sean McVay’s tenure as head coach. They’ve dropped back-to-back games only five times in the last four years, and I don’t expect that number to grow this week.

They have a better offense and defense than Seattle, and the Seahawks’ struggles against the run will allow the Rams to control the clock and be more balanced on offense.

Bet the RAMS (-135) to win outright on the road.

Also see: Bet Slippin’ Podcast

Against the spread

The Rams are 2-2 against the spread, as are the Seahawks. The Rams are 6-3 straight up in their last nine games against Seattle, including January’s NFC Wild Card win on the road.

Playing in Seattle will be tougher this season with fans in the stands, but the Rams should probably be bigger favorites than the 2.5 points they’re giving – even on the road. I like the RAMS -2.5 (-110) to win by at least 3 points.

Over/Under

Despite Seattle’s struggles on defense and the explosiveness of its offense, the total has only gone Over in only one of four games thus far. The Rams, on the other hand, have pushed the total Over in each of their four games.

The Over is only 1-2 in the last three meetings between these teams and after the Rams failed to stop Cardinals QB Kyler Murray, they will bounce back by keeping Wilson in check. Bet the UNDER 54.5 (-108).

  • Since 2017, the Rams are 5-3 against the Seahawks and have won two of the last three meetings.

Rams at Seahawks: Odds, betting lines, predictions and picks

Prediction

Seahawks 21, Rams 19

Money line (?)

The Rams and Seahawks always play each other close. Of their last 12 meetings, eight have been decided by fewer than 10 points. This has the makings of another close battle in Seattle, where the Rams have historically done better than most visiting teams.

I still like the Seahawks to win at home. The Rams offense isn’t explosive enough, and Seattle’s defense has improved dramatically in the second half of the season against sub-par quarterbacks. Take the SEAHAWKS (-160) to win outright.

Against the spread (?)

Knowing the Rams and Seahawks often keep the game close, I like the Rams to cover here. They have a decent chance to win straight up, but the better approach is taking Seattle on the money line and the Rams against the spread.

The Rams have covered in six of their last 10 games, while Seattle is only 4-6 in its last 10. Take the RAMS +3 (-105) to cover.

Over/Under (?)

Both of these defenses are playing well right now and the results have been a trend of Unders hitting more often than the Over. The total went Under in 12 of the Rams’ 16 games this season, and in nine of Seattle’s 16.

I like the UNDER 41.5 (-105), even though the line is set somewhat lower than usual.

Rams at Seahawks: Game notes

  • The Rams are 5-2 against the Seahawks since head coach Sean McVay took over in 2017, including wins in four of the last five meetings.
  • The Rams haven’t lost back-to-back games since Weeks 15-16 of the 2019 season.
  • The Seahawks are just 2-5 ATS in their last seven games.
  • In the first meeting this season, the Rams beat the Seahawks 23-16, covering the 3-point spread with the total going Under (55).
  • The total has gone Under in nine of the Rams’ last 11 games, and in each of the Seahawks’ last six.

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.
