This NFC West showdown has huge playoff implications, with both teams sitting at 11-3
Los Angeles Rams (11-3) at Seattle Seahawks (11-3)
The Rams bring the most explosive team in the division and are coming off a 41-34 win over Detroit, making it two straight wins where they have cleared 40 points. With 30.0 points per game, the Rams rank 2nd in the NFL for points scored. They're also strong on defence, allowing 18.6 points per game (ranked 3rd).
Seattle have been just as hot, riding a four-game winning streak and surviving a tight 18-16 result at home last week. The defence is elite, allowing 17.3 points per game (ranked 2nd). With 191 defensive pass yards per game (7th) and 91 defensive rush yards per game (3rd). They have the tools to stop the Rams' elite firepower.
Leg #1 - 2+ Passing Touchdowns: Matthew Stafford
Stafford has been in a great rhythm through the air, throwing multiple touchdowns week after week. He has hit 2+ passing touchdowns in 8 straight games and has landed 2+ passing TDs in 12 of 14 games this season, including two last week against Detroit. This matchup also sets up well for volume. Seattle’s defence is elite overall, but the Rams are comfortable leaning into their pass game when the opponent can score back.
Leg #2 - 90+ Receiving Yards: Jaxon Smith-Njigba
Smith Njigba has been a weekly yardage threat, clearing 92 plus receiving yards in nine of Seattle’s last 10 games. He also matched up well with the Rams previously, going for 105 yards on 9 catches in their last meeting. JSN’s role gives him a steady target base that can convert into a big yardage day if the Rams offence forces Seattle to keep throwing deep into the second half.
Leg #3 - 80+ Receiving Yards: Puka Nacua
Nacua’s recent form is exactly what you want for a yardage leg. Across his last five games he has posted 181, 167, 72, 97, and 75 receiving yards, and he just erupted for 181 yards against the Lions. The volume is also strong, with 8 plus targets in five straight games.
Same Game Multi
Value Leg - Anytime Touchdown Scorer: Blake Corum
Corum has become a genuine scoring threat, hitting a rushing TD in three straight games. Last week, he logged 11 carries and punched in a score against Detroit, and the week prior, he found the end zone twice against Arizona, while piling up 128 rushing yards.
