NFL Betting Odds & Predictions for Week 13 → Seahawks vs Rams

It looked like the Seattle Seahawks might run away with the NFC West, until the San Francisco 49ers traded for Christian McCaffrey, and teams started figuring out how to beat the Seattle defense. The 49ers have won four in a row and now lead the Seahawks by a game. The 6-5 Seahawks now travel to Los Angeles to take on a Rams team that has turned a 3-3 start into a 3-8 dumpster fire. Matthew Stafford is still out, as his time in the concussion protocol has turned into a worrying neck injury. John Wolford also had his bell rung, but he has recovered well enough to start in place of Bryce Perkins, who just looked inexperienced in last week’s loss to the Chiefs. The line started at Seattle -3 and has shot up to Seattle -7 with this news about the quarterback situation. Can the Seahawks win and cover? Don’t miss our NFL betting prediction.

Why should you bet on the Seahawks?

Seattle lost, 21-16, to Tampa Bay two weeks ago and had a chance to turn things around last week with a visit from the inconsistent Las Vegas Raiders, but the Raiders won their second walk-off game in overtime in as many weeks, prevailing, 40-34. Seattle led that game late, 34-27, after Geno Smith found Travis Homer for a touchdown, but Derek Carr turned back the clock to lead the Raiders down the field to tie things in regulation. In overtime, Raiders tailback Josh Jacobs got loose for an 86-yard touchdown.

The Seattle rushing defense was the problem, as the Raiders ran for 283 yards, most coming from Jacobs. The offense was solid, as Geno Smith went 27 of 37 for 328 yards and a pair of touchdowns (with a pick). D.K. Metcalf was his top target, catching 11 passes for 90 yards, and Tyer Lockett had three receptions for 68 yards and a score. Kenneth Walker III only ran for 26 yards, but he cashed in twice near the goal line.

 

Why should you put your money on the Rams?

Was it worth it for the Rams to mortgage their future for a Super Bowl? Many fans would say yes, but now the Rams are paying the bill. Odell Beckham Jr has left via free agency (and still has not signed with anyone). Cooper Kupp appears to be done for the season, and Stafford may have the same diagnosis given the team’s poor prospects. Allen Robinson is also on the shelf without a timetable for a return.

Bryce Perkins went 13 of 23 for 100 yards and his first NFL touchdown pass – but he also had two interceptions. He led the team in rushing with 44 yards, as Cam Akers only managed 37. Van Jefferson had three catches for 29 yards and a score, and Kyren Williams had three catches for 25 yards and picked up 35 yards on the ground. The defense was encouraging, forcing the Chiefs to attempt four field goals and refusing to bend in the red zone, and so the Chiefs only had two touchdowns. Can the defense do the same against Seattle?

 

Final Score and Prediction

It is true that the Rams have won three in a row and five of six against Seattle. However, with a backup quarterback, I’m not taking the Rams here. The Seattle offense is clearly not having problems, and the Rams don’t have the pieces on offense to make the Seattle defense pay. I predict a final score of Seattle 20, Los Angeles 13.
