December 14th, 2016

Los Angeles Rams (4-9) vs. Seattle Seahawks (8-4-1) Betting Preview

Line/Odds: Seattle -15 (5dimes)
Total: 38.5
Time: 8:25 pm ET
Location: CenturyLink Field, Seattle, WA.
Television Broadcast: NBC

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.

Game Details

Soccer | SV Werder Bremen vs Heidenheimer SB

Play on: OVER 2½ +121

Game Analysis

This is a free play on Over 2.5.

After Bremen and Heidenheimer played a scoreless draw in the first leg of this relegation/promotion playoff, perhaps we see a bit of recency bias at play in the second leg. The total is taking back plus money betting the over 2.5, which seems like a bargain in a match that could be decided on away goals. While neither team scored in the fist leg, the previous two head to head meetings saw a combined eight goals. Bremen scored six goals the last time they were faced with a must win game, and I very much doubt they will be held off the score sheet in this match.

GL,

Jesse Schule

YESTERDAY'S PLAYS

Match Up	Pick	Rating	Score	Result	Profit	Analysis
Brighton & Hove Albion vs Norwich City	UNDER 2½ -125	Premium	1-0	Win	100	Show
This is a 5* play on Under 2.5. Norwich City appears to be facing imminent relegation, while Brighton looks safe from relegation at the moment. Neither of these two teams have scored a lot of goals this season. Norwich ranks dead last in goals scored with a total of 25 goals in 32 matches. Brighton has failed to score in four of her last five matches, including a pair of scoreless draws. Norwich has also failed to score in four of their last five matches. One goal might be enough to win this match. GL, Jesse Schule
Bayern Munich vs Bayer Leverkusen	Bayern Munich -1½ -116	Premium	4-2	Win	100	Show
This is a 5* play on Bayern Munich. Bayern Munich isn't just the best team in Germany, in my opinion they are the best team in Europe. They have won 16 straight matches in all competitions, and 10 of those wins came by 2+ goals. Bayern Leverkusen was disappointing when the Bundesliga returned, They won three of six matches, but a 2-0 loss to Hertha Berlin in their second to last match ensured they would miss out on the Champions League next season. I don't expect that Munich will have any trouble with Leverkusen in the German Cup Final. GL, Jesse Schule
Arsenal vs Wolverhampton Wanderers	Arsenal 0½ -130	Premium	2-0	Win	100	Show
This is a 5* play on Arsenal +0.5. Wolverhampton is having a hell of a season, but seeing them listed as favorites against Arsenal makes me think there is a little recency bias at play. Technically a home game for Wolves, but without fans that might not be very significant. These teams have a history of playing close games, with three of the last five head to head meetings ending with a final score of 1-1. Arsenal has won three straight, posting a pair of clean sheets. I like their chances of earning a point. GL, Jesse Schule
Crystal Palace vs Leicester	Leicester -137	Premium	0-3	Win	100	Show
This is a 5* play on Leicester City. So far Leicester has been unable to capture the magic they seemed to have before play was suspended in March. They are now in a dogfight for a Champions League spot, and desperately in need of a win here versus Crystal Palace. Leicester has scored more than twice as many goals (60) as Palace (28). Leicester won their last match versus Palace by a score of 2-0, and I expect a similar result here in this match. GL, Jesse Schule
AC Milan vs Lazio	Lazio PK -120	Premium	3-0	Loss	-120	Show
This is a 5* play on Lazio. The title race is still on in Serie A, with just four points seperating Lazio and Juventus. Lazio needs a win here against AC Milan in order to keep the pressure on Juventus. Lazio has yet to lose at home, with a record of 12-0-3 in 15 matches. They have the second best goal differential in the Serie A (+38) while Milan has conceded one more goal than they have scored. This is a match where I would be wary of a draw, but I can't see Lazio losing here against Milan. GL, Jesse Schule

Soccer | West Ham United vs Newcastle United

Play on: OVER 2½ +106 [Won: $106]

Game Analysis

This is a 5* play on Over 2.5.

West Ham is coming off a shocking 3-2 win over Chelsea, putting them three points clear of relegation. Newcastle is also coming off a favorable result, beating Bournemouth by a score of 4-1. We can expect plenty of chances in a match featuring two teams that aren't known for their defending. Newcastle won the last meeting between these teams by a score of 3-2, and I expect a similar score here on Sunday.

SERVICE BIO

WHO IS THE ICEMAN? He’s no soothsayer and he doesn’t have a crystal ball, but Jesse Schule can indeed predict the future. As a professional handicapper, it’s actually part of his job description. His clients have accused him of secretly possessing Marty McFly’s Sports Almanac, but he tells us the secret to his success is thanks in part to his fascination with history. The idea that you can predict the future by studying the past is nothing new. Historians have been doing it for years.

Career Highlights:

- Perfect 5-0 Super Bowl Card (2018)

- Perfect 6-0 NBA Finals Futures (2017)

- Perfect 8-0 card X-Mas Day (2016)

- Perfect 8-0 NCAA Tourney picks Sweet 16 - Final (2015)

- Picked Germany +$700 to win World Cup (2014)

- Picked Marcus Mariota +$700 to win Heisman (2014)

Handicapping Methodology: Jesse is not a believer in systems, programs or number crunching formulas to handicap games. He is firm in his belief that you aren't playing against the sportsbook, you are playing against the average Joe (other bettors). Jesse is notorious for attacking inflated point spreads, soft lines and totals that are a little out of whack. He also relies on a nearly photographic memory with an uncanny ability to tell you a player's history and stats dating back for decades. Anyone can look up how many touchdowns a guy has scored, Jesse can also tell you about the ones that he almost scored.

Money Management: His plays are rated based on a 5-10 star system, and he recommends wagering 0.2 percent of your bankroll per star rating. So a top rated 10* play would represent a bet equal to two percent of a player's bankroll.

Signature Plays:

AFTERNOON EXECUTIONER: This title is reserved for games with a start time between 12:00 – 4:30 ET. These are popular with action junkies who are dying for the games to get underway.

The TERMINATOR: Jesse's signature totals play, the Terminator has established a reputation as one of the most consistent winners in Schule's repertoire.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE: These plays represent a game where the stats show a significant trend which isn't reflected in the price.

GRIM REAPER BLOWOUT: His signature play reserved for medium to large favorites. High percentage plays for those who don't mind laying chalk.

HOT DIGGITY DOG: This is the Iceman's signature underdog play. About as rare as strawberries in December, you'll want to grab these whenever they are available
