The betting lines have the Rams favored slightly on the road, reflecting their recent dominance over the Seahawks, especially in Seattle. The total set at 48.5 points suggests expectations for a high-scoring affair, likely influenced by both teams’ recent performances that tilted towards higher-scoring games.
Matthew Stafford QB vs. Geno Smith QB
Matthew Stafford, the Rams’ quarterback, has exhibited poise this season. For the last 7 games, he has made 157 of 232 attempts, which translates to a 67.7% accuracy with 1,671 passing yards in total. Allowing 17 sacks did not prevent Stafford from maintaining a Passer Rating of 89.6, along with 7 touchdowns and 5 interceptions, proving his talent quite well in pressure situations. Stafford’s experience should come in handy as he is targeting a Seahawks’ defensive line that has been less than average in the current campaign.
On the other hand, Geno Smith is an interesting opposite. Looking at his statistics, he does have a completion percentage of 68.8% after making 212 completions from 2,197 yards, so more or less, he did get enough stats to be classified as efficient. Having said that, Smith still has quite a few blemishes on his record, with 7 interceptions and 21 sacks this season as well, which showcase some weaknesses. His pass rating of 88.4 is somewhat lower, though he has been effective but nothing special. And looking at the stats, it’s pretty clear the Seahawks have been utilizing Smith’s arm more often than not, and it shows. If Smith manages to come out on top against a solid Rams defensive line, the outcome could be huge.
Rams’ Ground and Air Assault
Kyren Williams and Tutu Atwell have formidably enhanced the offensive department of the Rams. Williams has some good rushing numbers up his sleeve with 533 rushing yards and 8 touchdowns, which makes him an excellent rushing option, diversifying the Rams’ approach and easing some of the strain on Stafford. Atwell’s 350 receiving yards are not too impressive, but his average of 14.6 yards per reception displays his ability to make the big catch, which will help in opening up the Seahawks’ defense.
Seahawks’ Offensive Dynamics
Kenneth Walker III and Tyler Lockett respond for Seattle in the matchup. Walker mustered 315 rushing yards as well as 6 touchdowns overall, adding some much-needed explosiveness into the backfield, while Lockett remains a dependable receiver who has fueled 393 receiving yards and a touchdown. Their game-changing potential will be necessary in a matchup against a Rams defense that, although decent, has proven to be susceptible against multi-dimensional teams.

Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks Betting Prediction
Given the history of the Rams combined with the recent trends, I am inclined to go with them to cover the spread. They have a well-balanced offense and efficient defense which allows them to be a tough opponent for the erratic Seahawks.
As for the total points, the over is in a better position, as both teams have the tendency to shoot in high-scoring games. Expect both Stafford and Smith to capitalize on each other’s defensive weaknesses, pushing the total score over the set line. In prop bets, it would be prudent to back Kyren Williams to score since he is in good form. For those who want to bet, the recommendation is the Rams on the spread and over total points, as explained at your premier online sportsbook.
Score Prediction: Los Angeles Rams 28, Seattle Seahawks 24.
