Featured Game | Seattle Seahawks vs. Los Angeles Rams
Why the Rams can cover
Quarterback Matthew Stafford has immediately played well for the Rams. Stafford is averaging 305.5 yards per game this season and has thrown for 1,222 yards with 11 touchdowns. The Georgia product has instantly clicked with receiver Cooper Kupp, who is one of the best pass-catchers in the NFL, hauling in 30 receptions for 431 yards with a league-high five touchdowns.
In the Wild Card matchup against Seattle, Kupp led the Rams with four catches for 78 yards and a touchdown. He also averaged 19.5 yards per reception. Kupp and Stafford are one of the top duos in the NFL and will attack Seattle’s secondary, which is in the bottom five of the league against the pass (292.5 yards per game).
Why the Seahawks can cover
Russell Wilson and the Seahawks have owned Thursday Night Football. Seattle has won nine straight on Thursday, and the Seahawks also have an astonishing 7-1-2 mark against the spread in this slot since Wilson joined the team. Wilson thrives on the challenge of the short week and should have the Seahawks ready to go.
Carson’s status is a concern, but Seattle has a very capable backup in Alex Collins, who is averaging 5.9 yards per carry this season. Although Seattle’s season-long defensive numbers aren’t stellar, the Seahawks have played well in stretches. They gave up just 16 points against Indianapolis in Week 1 and held the 49ers to 2-of-14 on third down last week.
