With Seattle reeling from a 3-0 start, my Rams vs Seahawks predictions signal another statement game for LA’s in-form offense.

Rams vs Seahawks Prediction

My best bet
Aries -1 (-110 at BetMGM)

My analysis
At 1-4, things looked bleak for Los Angeles Ramswith costly absences on both sides of the ball and Cooper Kupp trade rumors floating around.

But the picture looks quite different now for Sean McVay’s men after back-to-back wins and question marks mounting for their divisional rivals.

That makes the Rams an attractive pick here as a very slight favorite in this Week 9 matchup against a team they love to play. LA is 7-3 in the last 10 meetings against him Seattle Seahawksas well as 8-2 ATS.

The visitors enjoyed a mini-bye week after a thrilling win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8 TNF. Matthew Stafford looked revitalized that night with Kupp and Puka Nacua back on the field, throwing four touchdown passes.

Although Nacua’s availability is unclear after another knee problem in practice this week, there is optimism that he will play and give the passing game a bit more.

However, LA’s ability to win at the line of scrimmage is what gives me the most confidence with this pick. The offensive line didn’t allow a single sack last time out against a blitz-heavy Minnesota defense, while Seattle’s offensive line has been a weak point all year.

It’s not like Stafford has to make all the big throws, especially with Kyren Williams braced for a heavy workload here against a Seattle run defense that’s allowing 148.4 rushing yards per game on the ground this season — the fourth-worst mark in the league.

Rams vs Seahawks game in same game

Aries -1

Cooper Kupp Over 66.5 receiving yards

Kyren Williams Over 2.5 receptions

Welcome back, Cooper Kupp! With No. 10 back on the field, it didn’t take long for his connection with Stafford to propel a Rams offense that had been stuck in the mud without him.

Kupp’s stat line wasn’t flashy — five catches for 51 yards — but his eight total targets were a reminder that he’s an elite separation-creator, especially when paired with Nacua.

While LA’s offense will suffer if Nacua is cut or limited, the tradeoff would likely be greater for Kupp. Keep in mind he finished with a ridiculous 14 catches on 21 targets in the season opener after Nacua limped off, so I feel the value of those Over receiving yards holds up regardless.

I complete my SGP with a Kyren Williams prop. He’s ready to do damage in the ground game, but his receiving prop feels like a better value.

Williams finished with five catches for 19 yards and a touchdown against the Vikings, and he’s a proven outlet for Stafford if Seattle’s pass rush catches fire.
