Rams vs Seahawks Prediction
The current betting odds have the Seahawks listed as a 2.5 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Seahawks have looked great in their games this season with their 14-3 record overall which had them right at the top of the NFC West. They have looked great on their home field too with their 6-2 home record this year. Meanwhile, the Rams have looked really good in their games this season with their 12-5 record overall which had them right near the top of the NFC West. They haven't been a great road team though with their 4-4 road record this season. The Rams are off a 20-17 win over the Bears in their last one, needing OT to get the win, and they have struggled in both road games they have played in the playoffs so far, beating the Bears by 3 points in OT and beating the Panthers by 3 points too. Their defense hasn't looked great in the back half of the season either, giving up a lot more points over the last few weeks. The Seahawks have been rolling lately though, going on a run at the end of the regular season to win the number 1 seed in the NFC, and now coming off a 41-6 win over the 49ers in their only playoff game so far. Darnold hasn't looked his best in these games, but he hasn't needed to be great either since the Seahawks have one of the best defenses in the NFL to lean on. They have looked scary good in their last few games and with the way the Rams have been so up and down lately, they are going to give the Rams trouble here. These two met twice this season and split the games, but both were really close games that the Seahawks could have won. The Seahawks have hit another level since that last meeting though, while the Rams look like a team that has taken a step in the wrong direction with the way they finished the season and barely got by in their 2 road playoff games. The best way to place a bet here is on the Seahawks to cover the spread in this game.
