Rams vs Seahawks Prediction
The current betting odds have the Rams listed as a 1.5 point underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Rams have looked great in their games this season with their 11-3 record overall which has them right at the top of the NFC West with one of the best records in the entire NFL. They have been a good road team too with their 4-2 road record this year. Meanwhile, the Seahawks have looked great in their games this season with their 11-3 record overall which has them right near the top of the NFC West with one of the best records in the entire NFL. They have looked great on their home field too with their 5-2 home record this year. The Seahawks have been rolling over teams all year with a lot of double digits wins under their belt and one of the best defenses in the NFL too. As good as they have been though, their offense has looked really up and down at times. They are off an 18-16 win over the Colts in their last one, needing 6 field goals to beat a Philip Rivers led Colts team, and Sam Darnold didn't look great. He has had games like this from time to time all season, and he has had a big issue against the Rams going back to last season too. The Rams are off a 41-34 win over the Lions in their last one and they have also been rolling over teams all year. They have one of the best offenses in the NFL and are starting to look like the best team this year. They already beat the Seahawks a few weeks ago and will be looking to do so again with division implications on the line. Darnold also can't be trusted against this Rams defense that he has had issues against over the last year. The best way to place a bet here is on the Rams to cover the spread in this game.
Rams Seahawks Prediction: Our NFL Pick for Thursday, December 18, 2025 (8:15 pm ET start time) is Rams 21 Seahawks 17.
