Seattle Seahawks vs Los Angeles Rams 11/11/18 NFL Odds, Preview and Prediction

The Seattle Seahawks travel to the City of Angels to face the Los Angeles Rams in a battle of NFC West rivals in Week 10 of NFL action on Sunday 11/11/18.

The Seahawks lost to the Chargers 25-17 last week in their most recent outing while the Rams were defeated by the Rams 45-35 in their last game. The Rams took a 33-31 road win last October 7 in these team’s first meeting of the year.

Seahawks Cooling Off

After starting the season 0-2 SU, the Seattle Seahawks went 4-1 SU in their next five games heading to Week 9. But the Seahawks cooled off despite being a one point favorites at home against the Chargers and lost the game 25-17 to drop to an even 4-4 on the season. Now Seattle plays one of the top teams in the league to avoid falling below .500 on the current season.

Russell Wilson has completed 146 out of 221 passes for a total of 1,791 passing yards with 18 touchdowns and five interceptions. Wilson has also contributed 118 rushing yards for the Seahawks this season but has been sacked a total of 25 times already. Mike Davis is the lead running back with 288 rushing yards and three scores on 67 carries while Tyler Lockett has a team best 26 catches for 416 receiving yards and six touchdown catches.

 

What’re the Odds?

Moneyline Odds: Seahawks +360, Rams -430
Odds from Betoline.ag as of 11/8/18

 

First Loss of the Season

Like the Seahawks, the Rams lost last week but unlike Seattle, the loss was Los Angeles’ first of the season. The Rams opened the season like a house on fire, winning their first eight games but they could not keep up with the Saints in a scoring festival at the Superdome. Los Angeles trailed 35-14 in the second period but rallied to tie the game at 35 before eventually coming up short in the end.

Quarterback Jared Goff is having a great season with 2,816 passing yards with 20 scores and 6 pick offs while completing 199 of 293 total passes. Todd Gurley has rushed for a total of 868 yards with 12 touchdowns on 182 carries. Robert Woods and Brandin Cooks are the top pass options with 743 and 757 receiving yards, respectively on the season. Both wideouts have three touchdowns each this season for the Rams.

Who Wins?

Seattle is 4-2 SU in their last 6 games played and 8-3 SU in their last 11 games on the road. Los Angeles is 8-1 SU in their last 9 games and are 4-1 SU in their last 5 games at Heinz Field. Head to head, the Seahawks are 2-5 SU in their last 7 games versus the Rams and 2-4 SU in their last 6 games against the Rams in Los Angeles. Seattle is just 2-3 on the road this season while Los Angeles is a spotless 4-0 at home so far.

The Rams have a high octane offense run by Jared Goff who has plenty of weapons at his disposal. If their defense can play up to par with their offense, then the Rams are tough to beat. On the other hand, the Seahawks have been dealing with injuries on both sides of the field and their best shot at winning this came could be running out the clock by running the football. They can’t engage the Rams in a shootout because that would be like signing a death wish.

 

Betting Prediction

The Rams had been due for a loss after such a long winning streak. But while defeats sometimes have a hangover in the team’s next game, I think that the opposite is going to happen here with Los Angeles raring to get back on the win column and pouring out their frustration on the Seahawks. Seattle wasn’t able to score enough points against an average Chargers offense last week. I’m not sure if they can hang around with an elite offensive unit in the Rams.

I’m laying the points with Los Angeles here. We’re picking the Los Angeles Rams to beat the Seattle Seahawks on 11/11/18.

What’re the Odds?

Seattle Seahawks vs Los Angeles Rams 11/11/18
Spread Odds: Seahawks +10 (-120), Rams -10 (+100)
Odds from Betoline.ag as of 11/8/18

 

Betting Prediction

You can make an argument for the Seahawks here based on the fact that the Rams beat them by only two points in their first meeting of the season and the reality that the Rams haven’t been as good against the spread despite being 8-1 SU on the season. But the Rams are too good for the Seahawks to slow down on offense. This is the third time that Los Angeles has been installed as double digit favorites this season and they won the first two by an average of 30 points per game.

Prediction: Rams -10

Place Your Bet Here

 

The under is 6-1 in the Seahawks’ last 7 games played and the under is also 5-1 in Seattle’s last six road games. Head to head, the total has gone under in 12 out of the last 17 meetings between these two teams and the under is also 6-2 in the last eight games between the Seahawks and Rams in Los Angeles.

What’re the Odds?

Seattle Seahawks vs Los Angeles Rams 11/11/18
Over/Under Odds: Over 51 -105, Under 51 -115
Odds from Betoline.ag as of 11/8/18

 

The under is a combined 11-6 in all the games that these teams have played this season and the total has gone under in four out of five road games for the Seahawks this year.

Betting Prediction

The Rams are third in the NFL in scoring while the Seahawks are only the 17th in the league in terms of putting up points so that’s already an issue. Then add the fact that the Seahawks have the 5th best scoring defense in the league and the Rams have the 10th best scoring defense this season.

Prediction :Under 51
