Millionaires---Seattle
Tonight is a bounce back game for two teams as both teams are coming off horrific week 14 losses. The Seahawks lost to a newly motivated Green Bay Packers squad 38-10, while the Rams got booed out of the LA Coliseum in their 42-14 blowout to the Atlanta Falcons. Not all was lost as Jeff Fisher was fired after having just 6 winning seasons in 22 years. We get to see if that "middle-school offense" is changed with the new coach on a short work week plus travel to Seattle. It's rated: doubtful. A huge problem is that the team liked Coach Fisher but still looked as if they gave the season up. They really don't have the talent to turn it on at will. For Seattle, Russell Wilson needs to do his last 3 weeks magic. He has not looked very good. The ground attack for the Seahawks is picking up steam at just the right time. Running back Thomas Rawls, who is finally healthy, helped carry the rushing attack the past two games. Seattle has averaged over five yards a carry in the past four games. There's one huge factor in this game. Seattle has produced 16 turnovers on defense in 2016 while the Rams' offense has giving the football up 24 times. If there are turnovers for the Rams this entire season, then count on more of the same playing against the Seahawks vaulted defense. Let's also not discount the Rams having to do battle in front of the "12th" man Seattle home team fan base. Offensively, the Seahawks can run on the Rams and score points at home. The key to this huge win for Seattle will be facing a Rams' offense that is the worst in the NFL and only averages 14.9 points a game. The Rams know how to lose, they lost by 28 at home last week so expect more of the same tonight for a small play on a big favorite.
