In Week 11 of the NFL football showcase, the Seattle Seahawks are set to clash with the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium. Coming off contrasting fortunes—Seattle with a tight win and the Rams with a three-game losing streak—the stage is set for a crucial NFC matchup.
The Seattle Seahawks are heading into a week 11 NFL showdown against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium, carrying the momentum of a 6-3 record and a recent win over Washington. Geno Smith, with a completion rate over 65%, has been a reliable quarterback, throwing for 2,171 yards. Kenneth Walker III’s rushing has been notable and top-notch, as is the receiving duo of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, with Metcalf leading in yards and Lockett in receptions. The Seahawks defense is spearheaded by Bobby Wagner’s impressive tackle stats and the sack contributions from Boye Mafe and Jordyn Brooks. Seattle has a solid record against NFC opponents, though their November spread coverage has room for improvement, failing to cover it in 8 of their last 9 games this month.
Los Angeles Rams
The Rams are seeking a comeback from a streak of three losses, the latest being a sizeable defeat to the Packers. Matthew Stafford has comparable passing yards to Smith but with a lower completion rate and an equal touchdown-to-interception ratio. It has been a disappointing season for the veteran. Kyren Williams leads the Rams in rushing touchdowns, with Puka Nacua as the top receiver in terms of yards. The Rams’ defense has standouts like Ernest Jones and Aaron Donald, but the team has been facing challenges in November, both in winning games and covering the spread: they have lost their last 9 November games and failed to cover the spread in each of them.
Prediction
Bettors are eyeing the Seahawks as the favorable pick due to their overall better health and performance, particularly on offense. The Rams’ recent struggle without a fully fit Matthew Stafford and their lackluster showing against the Packers have raised doubts about their offensive capabilities. The Seahawks’ consistent form, winning six of their last eight games, makes them the team to side within what’s expected to be a closely matched game. For those looking to place bets, Seattle appears to be a wise choice, given their current trajectory and the Rams’ November woes. Bet on them to cover the diminutive -1 spread on BUSR’s NFL Odds.
