Here are the betting odds and trends for the game between the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams on Sunday.

The Seattle Seahawks are hoping they can get off to a fast start in 2016. They were plagued by a slow start last season and it ultimately led to them playing their playoff games on the road instead of at home. On Sunday, they will face the Los Angeles Rams on the road in what should be an interesting game.

The Rams will be making their return home, but they are coming off an embarrassing loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Even though the Seahawks are the favorites, they are only -3.5 on the road currently. This could be for a couple of reasons.

Even though the Seahawks pulled out the win last week, the offense was abysmal and the offensive line didn’t protect Russell Wilson. He comes into the game banged up against a Los Angeles defense that will be playing with a chip on their shoulder. The Rams also swept Seattle last season.

If the Hawks can get some scores up early, they should be a pretty safe bet to cover the spread on the road. The Rams’ offense was so atrocious on Monday night, that it’s hard to see them doing anything against the Seahawks’ defense.
