Betting on the Los Angeles Rams (+4.5)
Regular season record: 0-0
The Rams are coming off a letdown season that they just want to move on from. They can completely do that by having a great campaign this year, beginning with a matchup against the Seahawks on the road. Matthew Stafford is healthy again which is good news for Los Angeles.
Star wide receiver Cooper Kupp is expected to be on the field in Week 1 after suffering a season-ending injury in 2022 and another in the offseason. A marked improvement in the passing attack of the Rams should be felt right away, and that’s also good news for the Rams ground game which can breathe a little with Kupp and Stafford back to stretch the field. Two of the Rams’ top three pass rushers left in the offseason, but Aaron Donald is still there to anchor the defense. So long as Donald is available, there is hope in the Rams’ stop unit.
Betting on the Seattle Seahawks (-4.5)
Regular season record: 0-0
Seattle was a revelation in 2022. Expected to struggle in their first season after parting ways with Russell Wilson, the Seahawks did not just win nine games but also made it to the playoffs, albeit exiting early with a loss to the San Francisco Giants in the Wild Card round. Nevertheless, the Seahawks opened the eyes of football fans, with Geno Smith playing at a Pro Bowl level.
With Smith running the show from under center, the Seahawks were able to finish the 2022 campaign in the top 10 in scoring offense (23.9 PPG) and 11th in touchdowns (2.6) per contest. Defensively, the Seahawks got a major boost with Bobby Wagner returning to Seattle after a stint with the Rams in 2022. Also take note that the Seahawks defeated Los Angeles twice last season.
El Jefe’s Prediction on Los Angeles Rams vs Seattle Seahawks
The Seahawks continue their dominance of Los Angeles, with Geno Smith steering the team to a win at home.
Prediction:
The Seahawks win, 27-21.
