For the past 10 years, from December 10, 2014, through December 10, 2024, the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams have faced off 20 times (7-13 versus the Rams and currently 0-3 since last beating the Rams on January 8, 2023, Seahawks 19 Rams 16). We all can agree that as we approach this year’s playoffs, both teams have something to prove to the entire NFL.
The L.A. Rams are coming off a big victory over Josh Allen’s 6 TDs for the Buffalo Bills, but this game was more than “Any Given Sunday” This was a statement victory for the Rams showing the rest of the world that you have to stop their dual-threat wide receivers, Makea “Puka” Nacua #17 and Cooper Kupp #10, a Hall of Fame quarterback, Matthew Stafford #9, and arguably a future HOF coach, Sean McVay. While the Seahawks just beat the Arizona Cardinals 30-18 both teams have tough matchups these next four weeks, including their rematch during week 18.

While Las Vegas has both the Rams (Spread +2.5, Money Line +114) and Seahawks (Spread +2.5, Money Line +124) listed as the underdog in their matches, they both have action in making another statement this week showing the NFL that the NFC-West is to be watched and talked about.

Seahawks 8-6
Rams 7-6
