Rams vs Seahawks Prediction
The current betting odds have the Seahawks listed as a 1 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Seahawks haven't looked great in their games this season with their 4-4 record overall, but that record has them in a tie for 1st place in the NFC West. They are coming off a bad loss to the Bills last week, losing 31-10 at home, but they will be looking to bounce back at home and need this win against a division rival. Meanwhile, the Rams haven't looked great in their games this season with their 3-4 record overall which has them at the bottom of the NFC West. They haven't looked good in their road games this season either, going 0-3 in their road games. They are coming off a big win over the Vikings last week and they played that game on Thursday so they have had some extra time to prepare, but the Rams also have a divisional win this season while the Seahawks don't. Both of these teams need to win this game and both are missing some key players in their offense, but the Seahawks have been the more consistent offense all season. They also have a big home advantage with the stadium they play in and that is enough to be the edge in what will likely be a really close game here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Seahawks to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“I believe in this group. I saw resolve. I didn’t see a flinch. ... We’ve done a good job of getting ourselves back to where we wanted to be.” - Sean McVay after his team’s win against the Vikings in their last game.
“That’s the result of good football team that outplayed us in three phases and then it gets out of hand when you’re doing the things we we did today. The long and short of it is we got outplayed, we got outcoached, and we've got to go make it right.” - Mike Macdonald after his team’s loss against the Bills in their last game.
