The Seattle Seahawks are currently trailing the San Francisco 49ers in the fight for the NFC West after their Week 12 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders at Lumen Field. Seattle now sits at 6-5 in the NFL standings.
Seahawks Loss
To make matters worse, the Seahawks’ loss to the Raiders also pushed them outside of the NFC playoff picture.
In terms of NFL player stats, Geno Smith has been the leader of this offense. The former second-round pick out of West Virginia has revitalized his career and has showcased a special season thus far, throwing 19 touchdowns to just five interceptions on the year.
Additionally, Kenneth Walker III is making an argument to be the rookie of the year after rushing for nine touchdowns in just seven games.
Watch out for rookie cornerback Tariq Woolen on defense, as his five interceptions tied a Seahawks rookie record and led all cornerbacks in the league.
NFL-best 122 Tackles
With an NFL-best 122 tackles, linebacker Jordyn Brooks has also been a crucial component of Seattle’s defensive lineup.
The Los Angeles Rams are having a season to forget. The Rams have dropped five straight contests and are dead last in the NFC West with a 3-8 record. Los Angeles comes into this matchup coming off a brutal loss to the Chiefs 26-10.
The Rams odds against the spread this year have not been good, as they are 3-7-1 overall and 1-3-1 ATS over their last five contests. NFL odds are starting to shift in favor of whoever the Rams are playing.
When it comes to the Seahawks vs Rams prediction, November has also been a month to forget for the Rams as they recorded zero wins and have been defeated by an average score of 96 to 60, for an average loss margin of nine.
They suffered a 13.7-point loss average in 2021 after being outscored 95-54.
Matthew Stafford’s Performance
On the offensive side of the ball, the Rams could potentially be without their star quarterback Matthew Stafford.
When healthy, Stafford is an All-Pro quarterback, but the veteran has just ten touchdowns to eight interceptions this year.
Additionally, their best weapon on offense, Cooper Kupp, is out the rest of the year after getting surgery on his ankle.
Thanks to the NFL schedule, the Rams’ defense will get tested by one of the best offenses in the league. Aaron Donald has been the dominant force on the defensive side of the ball with Los Angeles.
However, he has only five sacks this year. Cornerback Jalen Ramsey is also a key player to keep an eye on as he comes into this matchup with one interception.
