According to current NFL odds and oddsmakers from online sports book Sportsbook.com, the Rams are 3-point favorites over the Seahawks in Week 17. The over/under total for this game is currently 41.5 points.
The Rams improved to 7-8 on the year with a win over the 49ers last Sunday and are now 10-5 against the spread this season. They’re 2-5 on the road this year, but have covered in five of those seven games.
The Seahawks are now 6-9 after losing to the Bucs last Sunday and are 6-9 against the spread according to latest NFL trends. They’re 4-3 at home this season and 4-3 against the number.
NFL Week 17 Pick:
We’re apt to take the better team and lay the three points with the Rams, but the Seahawks are usually tough at home. Even this year when they have a losing record overall, they’re still 4-3 at home and Qwest Field is always a nasty environment to play in. That’s why we think there’s more value in the total. The Rams average 18.9 points offensively, but that number drops to 17.9 when they’re on the road. The Seahawks average 19.6 points overall and have a problem at quarterback as Matt Hasselbeck is nursing a hip injury. If he plays, the Seahawks’ offense may struggle. If Charlie Whitehurst plays…the Seahawks’ offense may struggle. The under is 4-1 in the Rams’ last five games when they’re a road favorite and 6-2 in their last eight games overall as a favorite. With so much on the line, we think both defenses will step up and points will be somewhat hard to come by. Our pick is the under 41.5.
