Result: Loss
This is a 10* BLOCKBUSTER on the St. Louis Rams.
As good as Seattle has played of late and despite having to also win this contest to clinch the division, I believe this does in fact set up as a bit of a letdown/lookahead spot for the home side and believe that the Rams will keep this one a lot closer than what the oddsmakers are leading us to believe. Interestingly, this will be the fourth time in five seasons that Seattle hosts St. Louis in Week 17. The Rams would beat the ‘Hawks 28-26 on October 19th: "It's a great place to play, it's a hard place to play and they have a great home-field advantage as everybody knows," St. Louis coach Jeff Fisher said of his team's matchup this weekend. "We're going to have to go up there and play good football and not turn it over. They have a lot to play for so it's going to be an exciting game." A big reason the Rams won that first game was their ability to slow down RB Marshawn Lynch, holding the wrecking ball to just 53 yards on 18 carries. St. Louis' defensive unit will also be extra motivated after giving up 514 yards in last week's 37-27 loss to the Giants: "I mean, 500 yards of offense, you can't do that," linebacker Jo-Lonn Dunbar said. "I don't care who you're playing, you can't do that. It's disappointing for us to play like this." As focused as Seattle claims to be in this game, it doesn't take too much of an imagination to picture the team in some small way "looking ahead" to the playoffs as it tries to defend its title; while I won't go so far as to call for an outright upset, I do definitely feel that ST. LOUIS has enough situational and motivational factors working on its side to indeed pull the trigger on this 10* selection.
