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.
