NFL Week 12: Seahawks vs Rams Predictions

The Seattle Seahawks and the St. Louis Rams will both be trying to pick up a win on Sunday when they battle at Edward Jones Dome. Oddsmakers currently have the Seahawks listed as 4-point favorites versus the Rams, while the game’s total is sitting at 42½…

Do You Really Trust The Seahawks Against St. Louis?

If you think that St. Louis is a bad football bet, then you really haven’t been paying attention. The Seahawks are by far the worst bet in football ever since Washington came out firing in the last two weeks. Don’t believe me? Have a look at Seattle’s current betting trends.

Seattle is just 1-4 SU/ATS in their last 5 games with that lone win coming over the Detroit Lions. On the road, the Seahawks are 0-5 SU/ATS in their last 5 games. The reason they’re the favorites in this game is because they’re 5-0 SU/ATS in their last 5 games against the Rams. But that doesn’t mean you can trust them. They’re simply playing bad football right now.

Quarterback Matt Hasselbeck has averaged 281 yards in his last four games, but has just as many touchdowns (4) as he has interceptions (4). The rushing attack, which has just 5 touchdowns overall this year, has been irrelevant and unnoticeable. Even against a patty cake defense like St. Louis’s, I don’t think that the Seahawks can gain any momentum as they try to slug it out on the road. [soliloquy id=”82219″]

NFL Betting Line: Seattle -3 (42.5)

There are two things I like about the Rams right now. First of all, they’re a stiff 4-1 ATS in their last five games. That includes spread wins over Arizona, New Orleans, Detroit and Jacksonville. Aside from the Lions, which is a game that they won, the other three teams are all playoff contenders.

The second thing that I like about St. Louis it he rushing game with Steven Jackson. St. Louis has been nothing to scream about offensively, but Jackson has steadied these Rams to the fifth best rushing offense when playing at home (138.0 yards per game). The fact that the home team is getting the cushion against the 27th ranked road defense (145.8 yards against on the ground, 267.2 in the air) means that the multi-talented Jackson will have a truckload of work to do. But in the end he’ll be the reason that you bet on the Rams. I love it when a home team gets a cushion, even it is just three-points.
