NFL Picks St. Louis Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks NFL Betting Odds: Two NFC West teams that combined to win only 6 games last season want to get off on the right foot when the Seattle Seahawks host the St. Louis Rams at 4:15 PM ET. Both of these teams will feature new faces in the headset with Jim Mora taking the job with Seattle and Steve Spagnuolo with the Rams.
In the wide open NFC West this game should be an indicator of who has the early edge. NFL Picks action at online sportsbook Bodog.com on this game has come in on the home team with the NFL Betting odds going from -7 to the Seattle Seahawks –8 point favorites against the St. Louis Rams.
St. Louis Rams Offense vs. Seattle Seahawks Defense: The Rams pass-protection is spotty so they will try to get things done on the ground with big-play 240 Lb. RB Steven Jackson. Seattle’s defense is undersized in the front-seven so Jackson should have a good game if QB Marc Bulger can make some plays. Bulger is still an accurate passer and Seattle’s secondary is suspect. Bulger is not likely to get much time to throw against Seattle’s attacking blitzers and he might be gun shy from all the punishment he has taken the past few years.
The NFL Picks experts at online sportsbook Bodog.com have the NFL betting odds on the Rams vs Seahawks Total set at 41 points (-105 odds).
Seattle Seahawks Offense vs. St. Louis Rams Defense: The Seahawks have their bell cow player back in QB Matt Hasselbeck who instantly makes them better than last season. Hasselbeck looked sharp in the preseason and his wideouts should not have a hard time finding soft spots in the Rams coverage. The real key for Seattle’s offense will be how well they can run the ball with Julius Jones and Edgerrin James. Jones and James are 2nd tier backs and the O-Line will be missing their best player in LT Walter Jones. St. Louis’s front seven has some holes but can James and Jones exploit them to set up the pass for Hasselbeck?
Intangibles: The favorite is 4-0 ATS in their last 4 meetings. Seattle starting WR Deion Branch is listed as doubtful with a hamstring injury. Rams starting DE Leonard Little is listed as probable with a knee injury. Rams starting QB Marc Bulger has a hurt finger but will play. Seattle has one of the best home-field advantages in the NFL.
