Why L.A. Rams are a good bet +2?

The line opened at +2.5 and has fallen a half a point. Why? LAR versus Seattle has become on of the better rivalries in the league while most football fans understand that the game versus Tampa simply got out of hand.

Jared Goff threw the ball 68 times. Not only that, he tossed 3 interceptions. That won’t happen versus a Seattle team more inclined to rush the football than to throw the football. If the Rams just play their game, they should be right there to win this in the fourth quarter.

Why Seattle Seahawks are a good bet -2?

For the first time this season, the Seattle Seahawks put together a complete game. The now 3-1 Seahawks entered Arizona after a tough home loss to the New Orleans Saints. Seattle had every right to get down on themselves after the blown opportunity against the Drew Brees-less Saints.

Instead of doing that, Seattle managed to dominate the Arizona Cardinals 27-10. It was the type of workmanlike, defense-minded win, that puts a smile on Pete Carrol’s face. Now back at home, the Hawks are ready to take on their biggest rivals in the NFC West.

Rams vs Seahawks Final NFL Betting Analysis

The head-to-head trends say the Rams are done for in this game. Seattle is 9-3 ATS in the last 12 meetings at home against the Rams. They’re also 11-5-1 ATS in their last 17 games overall.

The problem for Los Angels could be two-fold here. First, the Seahawks only allow 79.5 rushing yards per game. They force opponents to put the ball into the air. Second, no way Goff can be feeling good after tossing the pigskin 68 times and throwing 3 picks this past Sunday.

A quick turnaround to one of the most raucous stadiums in the league should leave the Rams somewhat down on Thursday night. The good news is that L.A. finally got their offense going in the 40-55 loss to Tampa. The bad news is that they face their biggest rivals 4 days later on the road after that crazy contest. All things considered, the Seahawks have no business not winning and covering on Oct. 3.
