Rams at Seahawks: Preview, prediction, odds and pick

The Rams and Seahawks will each be looking to take control of the tightly-contested NFC West when they battle in Seattle in Week 15.

Somehow, the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams each lost their respective games in Week 14 in battles that they both should’ve come out on top of. Now, they’ll both be in the same boat as they look to take hold of first place in the NFC West on Sunday.

The two teams will face off in Week 15, but you need to go back to Week 14 to get the full story of why this game is so important. The Seahawks were facing off against the Jacksonville Jaguars, while the Rams hosted the Philadelphia Eagles in a battle of two of the NFC’s best teams.

By the end of the day last Sunday, the Seahawks had lost to a Blake Bortles-led Jaguars squad in embarrassing fashion, despite a comeback attempt in the fourth quarter, and the Rams managed to lose to the Eagles even after a torn ACL took Carson Wentz out of Philly’s offense. Now, each team will need to bounce back in a big way, with the top spot in the NFC West on the line when they play on Sunday in Seattle.

Odds: Seahawks -2.5, according to Odds Shark

The Seahawks are the favorite in this one, but this is really a battle of equals on Sunday if you were to put this in any neutral stadium. However, the addition of the 12’s in Seattle will be a huge factor, and will likely play a big role in the finish for this game.

In the end, I see the Seahawks taking home a competitive, close win at home, and taking control of the NFC West with two weeks to go in the regular season.

Prediction: Seahawks 23, Rams 20
