Super Dank Play
St. Louis +11.5 -107
Hashish,
How do you see St Louis covering here? I can't imagine STL scoring more than 7 to 10 points and I think Seattle gets to 27 or so. Maybe a 27-7 type game.
Appreciate your insight as always.
I see a low-scoring game, too. However, I think that St. Louis keeps it fairly close. First, the Rams have played them tough recently. I know that Bradford is out, but I don't think Clemens is that big of a drop-off. The Rams defense is very tough. The Seahawks offensive line will struggle to stop the pass rush, which should lead to a turnover or two.
The Seahawks will have to beat the Rams on the ground, which they will find success with. However, i don't think they can find enough success to cover this large a line on the road. Their need to keep it on the ground will also eat up the clock, which should help to keep the game from becoming a blowout.They are not a great road team, and I'll gladly take the big number with a home team in a divisional matchup.
Lastly, I don't feel like Vegas gets buried two primetime games in a row. Especially when the action is so heavily skewed towards Seattle. This will be the most heavily bet game of the week. Everyone and their uncle gives the Rams no chance in this one with Bradford out. If you look around, you will see lots of people saying all Seattle has to do is show up to win in a blowout. It's rarely that simple in the NFL. I'll take my chances with the house.
