Why the Rams Have an Edge

Los Angeles has been strong against the spread in recent matchups against the Seahawks, boasting an 8-2 record in their last ten meetings. The Rams are ranked first in the league for both yards gained and points scored, supplemented by an offense that commits few penalties. Defensively, they are also formidable, allowing the least rushing touchdowns last season.

The Seahawks’ Advantage

Conversely, no team performs better against the spread than Seattle, which boasts a 13-5 performance record against the line during both the regular season and postseason. The Seahawks are riding an eight-game winning streak with three of those games decided by double digits, giving them a notable edge in rest as they played their last match on Saturday.
