Seahawks vs. Rams picks against the spread
Jon Hoefling: Seattle Seahawks (-2.5)
Seattle is playing a tier above everyone else right now. The Rams, meanwhile, struggled to beat Carolina and Chicago.
Jordan Mendoza: Los Angeles Rams (+2.5)
These two have put on two great matchups, why not have a third? Seattle looked unbeatable after ripping apart San Francisco, but the Rams are capable of breaking past the Seahawks. This is a game that goes down to the final minutes and its the Rams picking it up to go back to the Super Bowl.
Tyler Dragon: Los Angeles Rams (+2.5)
Sam Darnold has struggled against the Rams. It's hard for me to trust Darnold vs. the Rams in the biggest game of his career.
Lorenzo Reyes: Seattle Seahawks (-2.5)
The Seahawks have been the most consistent team in the NFL this season. They're at home, are balanced and have an aggressive defense that puts pressure on quarterbacks. These games have been close, and the coaching matchup is fascinating, but Seattle is just playing on another level. It's dominance against the 49ers was pretty telling. With this under a field goal, don't hesitate before the line moves further.
Christopher Bumbaca: Los Angeles Rams (+2.5)
No reason to stop picking the Rams now. If it comes down to quarterbacks, Ill take Matthew Stafford over Sam Darnold any day of the week. Sean McVay, Im begging you to run the ball.
Blake Schuster: Los Angeles Rams (+2.5)
The Rams probably should've lost to Chicago. Those are the types of postseason scares every eventual champion has along the way. I'll take Los Angeles straight up here and expect them to lift the Lombardi Trophy at this point.
