Seahawks vs Rams Prediction
The current betting odds have the Seahawks listed as a 1 point favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Seahawks have looked really good this season with their 6-3 record overall and they are in a position right now to make a run at the NFC West. Meanwhile, the Rams are having another bad season with their 3-6 record overall and they have been dealing with injuries the last few weeks too. The Rams are coming out of their bye week and will have Stafford returning from injury but the Seahawks have been the much better team lately and they will have revenge on their mind after losing to the Rams in their season opener. The Seahawks have the more consistent offense lately and they are going to put up points on the Rams defense while the Rams have had offensive problems and will continue to struggle here. The best way to place a bet here is on the Seahawks to cover the spread in this game.

Notable Quotes
“I think it was a beautiful illustration of what everybody did right down the stretch. That's all we ever hope to do when we talk about finishing is everybody just keep doing stuff that's right and outlast them and have the chance to win even if it takes us to the last play of the game.” - Pete Carroll after his team’s win against the Commanders in their last game.
“The weather was kind of in and out of rain, which did minimize some of the different things that you can activate, particularly in the pass game. We had a tough time ball handling even in the run game. So, there really weren’t a lot of positives to take away.” - Sean McVay after his team’s loss against the Packers in their last game.
