Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks Preview & Picks

Los Angeles are tipped to win this huge Thursday night matchup in the NFC West.

This Rams defense tormented Sam Darnold earlier this season and cause plenty of problems for him again, while the offense makes enough big plays to get the ‘W’.

  • Los Angeles Rams are 8-1 in their last 9 games
  • Los Angeles Rams are 4-1 in the previous 5 meetings in Seattle
  • Los Angeles intercepted Sam Darnold 4 times in the first meeting this season
  • The Under has cashed in 7 of the previous 9 meetings

Head To Head

  • The all-time series is tied 28-28
  • Los Angeles Rams won 21-19 when the two teams last met on November 16

Los Angeles Rams Form

Los Angeles enter this matchup having won eight of their last nine games to improve to 11-3 and sit atop the NFC West.

The Rams opened with back-to-back wins, before stumbling in late September and early October as they lost twice in three games.

They rallied on the road though, beating Baltimore 17-3 and Jacksonville 35-7, and that proved to be the start of a six-game win streak.

Los Angeles sandwiched a 42-26 win in San Francisco with home wins over New Orleans, 34-10, and Seattle, 21-19, and then blew out Tampa Bay at SoFi, 34-7.

The Rams failed to make it seven-in-a-row as they lost 31-28 in Carolina, but they rebounded immediately by backing up a 45-17 win in Arizona with a 41-34 victory at home to Detroit.

Seattle Seahawks Form

Seattle go into this short week having won each of their last four games, and eight of the last nine to sit second in the NFC West on head-to-head only.

The Seahawks dropped their season opener, but rebounded with a three-game win streak before falling to a 38-35 defeat at home to Tampa Bay.

They responded strongly though, reeling off four consecutive victories as they beat Jacksonville 20-12, Houston 27-19, Washington 38-14 and Arizona 44-22.

Seattle’s run was ended by a 21-19 loss at the Los Angeles Rams, but they bounced back immediately with a 30-24 win in Tennessee.

The Seahawks then followed that up by sandwiching a 37-9 road blowout of Atlanta with home wins over Minnesota, 26-0, and Indianapolis, 18-16.

Verdict

This matchup will be a huge factor in who wins the NFC West, and we are backing the Rams.

They can force Sam Darnold into mistakes while Matthew Stafford leads the offense on enough scoring drives to pick up the win.
