Rams vs. Seahawks Betting Preview 12/15/16 – NFL Odds & TV

Betting Preview

The Rams have lost four straight games and eight of their last nine games overall. They have the league’s worst offense and have scored 14 points or less in six of their last seven games. They are dead last in total yards and dead last in points scored (14.9 points a game). Even their defense which is ranked 10th in total defense giving up an average of 23.4 points a game has collapsed as they gave up over 40 points in two of their last three games.

Switching quarterbacks from Case Keenum to rookie Jared Goff has done nothing as they have combined to throw only 13 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. Their running game hasn’t helped either scoring just seven touchdowns all year.

Seattle’s march towards the playoffs received a jolt last week. After having won four of their previous six games, they were crushed last week in Green Bay 38-10. Their defense had been the best in the league giving up just 16.2 points a game. Last week was the first time since week 10 they had given up over 30 points while their offense has sputtered as well scoring 15 points total in two of their last three games.

The oddsmakers have made Seattle a huge 15 point favorite and set the total at 38.5. According to Covers.com Consensus Analysis 56% of the public believe the Seahawks will snap out of their funk and are behind Seattle while 54% think the total is too low and favor the over.

The Rams have won their last three meetings and four of the last five games overall.
