Series History

The Seahawks lead all-time 27-25 in the regular season but Los Angeles was a 30-13 upset winner in Week 1. Rookie fifth round pick WR Puka Nacua made his presence known in his first NFL game. He broke the franchise record for the most receiving yards in a rookie debut (120) and was just the second player in NFL history drafted in the fifth round or later with 100+ receiving yards in his first regular season game. Matthew Stafford threw for 334 yards, and Kyren Williams and Cam Akers combined for three touchdown runs. Los Angeles had 27 first downs, 426 total yards and 39:23 time of possession. The Rams handed Seattle its worst home loss since Los Angeles beat the Seahawks 42-7 during the 2017 season. Including that 2017 win, the Rams have won nine of the past 13 games against Seattle.

Why Bet on Seattle?

Seattle (6-3) is tied with San Francisco atop the NFC West and beat Washington 29-26 last Sunday in one of many walkoff field goals in the NFL in Week 10. Geno Smith led a pair of scoring drives late in the fourth quarter, the second leading to Jason Myers’ 43-yard field goal as time expired. Smith completed 9 of 11 passes on Seattle’s final two possessions, and he connected with Kenneth Walker III on a 64-yard catch-and-run touchdown in the third quarter, the longest play from scrimmage this season for the Seahawks. Smith also didn’t turn the ball over for the first time since Week 4. He completed 31-of-47 passes for 369 yards and two touchdowns.

DK Metcalf caught 7-of-12 targets for 98 yards. With the game tied 26-26 and less than a minute to go, Metcalf hauled in a 17-yard reception on third down to keep the drive alive and later caught a 27-yard reception to put the Seahawks in range for a game-winning field goal. Fellow WR Tyler Lockett continues to deal with a hamstring issue that has forced him to regularly miss practice over the past few weeks. Despite the injury, Lockett has not missed any games and is playing at a high level as he is coming off an eight catch, 92-yard performance that included a late game touchdown.

Right tackle Abraham Lucas has been designated to return from injured reserve. Lucas was initially placed on injured reserve with a knee injury back in September. He returned to practice for the Seahawks in a limited capacity on Wednesday and it’s not a sure thing he will play but it’s looking good. Guard Anthony Bradford returned to practice as a full participant this week after missing the last two games with a knee injury.

“We need to see how the rigors of the practice actually figures into it all and see how he bounces back,” coach Pete Carroll said of Lucas. “It’s been kind of a chronic thing, so you’ve got to make sure you’ve left it in the past. We’ll see what happens.” Lucas can practice for up to 21 days without counting against the 53-man roster.

Future Hall of Fame linebacker Bobby Wagner is already up to 95 for the season, a total that leads the team, and that leaves him five away from a milestone that will put him in some rare company that includes Fletcher. When Wagner adds five more tackles to his season total, it will mark the 12th time in as many seasons that he has recorded 100 or more tackles, making him one of just three players since the NFL started keeping track of tackles to have 12 consecutive 100-tackle seasons, joining Fletcher, who had 14 straight from 2000-2014, and Derrick Brooks, who had 12 straight from 1996-2007.

However, the defensive breakout star LB Boye Mafe. The second-year outside linebacker has a sack in seven straight games, a new franchise record. He took down Sam Howell in Week 10 to break the previous mark set by Michael Sinclair over the 1997 and ’98 seasons. Mafe already has more than doubled his rookie totals in sacks, tackles for loss (seven to three) and quarterback hits (10 to four).

The Rams are ranked 17th in rushing yards per game (104.9) and the Seahawks defense is ranked 20th in opponent rushing yards per game (116.0). The Seahawks are ranked 13th in passing yards per game (231.7) and the Rams defense is ranked 14th in opponent passing yards per game (217.2). The Rams defense is ranked 15th in opponent passer rating (88.6) and the Seahawks are ranked 17th in NFL passer rating (88.9).

Why Bet on LA Rams?

The Rams come out of their bye week at 3-6. They played awful in Week 9 in a 20-3 loss in Green Bay but also were without starting QB Matthew Stafford due to injury. He will play Sunday. Stafford sprained his ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) in his right thumb in the Rams’ Week 8 loss at Dallas. After their initial assessment of the injury in Dallas, the team feared it would be worse than a sprain and didn’t rule out injured reserve; further testing back in Los Angeles gave a more optimistic diagnosis.

There was swelling and Stafford could not grip a football into the Week 9 game, so then-backup Brett Rypien started in his place. The Rams lost to the Green Bay Packers 20-3 and had only four first downs in the second half, of 10 total. Rypien was so bad that he’s gone now and the new backup is Carson Wentz, signed off the street.

Coach Sean McVay called signing Wentz a chance to upgrade the quarterback room and said: “He’s a guy that has played. … God forbid, if something were to happen where (Stafford) weren’t available, felt like this would offer an opportunity for somebody that has played a lot of high-level football to get him in here, get him familiar with some of the things they we’re doing.”

Since entering the league as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, Stafford has totaled 54,152 passing yards and 341 touchdown passes in 199 games. With 198 passing yards against Seattle on Sunday, Stafford will surpass Matt Ryan (54,349 passing yards) for the second-most passing yards by a player in his first 200 games in NFL history. Only Drew Brees (55,439) has more. Stafford (341) needs two touchdown passes to pass Fran Tarkenton (342) and become 11th-most in NFL history.

Star wideout Cooper Kupp, who missed the first Seattle game, needs one receiving touchdown to tie Henry Ellard (48) for fourth in franchise history in receiving touchdowns. Fellow wideout Puka Nacua (827) needs 98 receiving yards to break the single-season Rams franchise record for more receiving yards by a rookie. Eddie Kennison had 924 receiving yards in 1996.

Top running back Kyren Williams has missed the past few games injured and won’t be ready this week but should be back in Week 12. Darrell Henderson and Royce Freeman will share backfield duties again.

Rams star defensive tackle Aaron Donald is no stranger to the Seahawks offense. Since entering the league in 2014, he has recorded 15.5 regular season sacks against the Seahawks, making Seattle his second-most sacked team of his career. Since Week 16 of the 2020 season, Donald has recorded 0.5 sacks or more in each contest against Seattle.
