Considering the road team is usually -3 that's a 10.5 point swing.

Rams open as big road favorites over the Seahawks in Week 5
By: Cameron DaSilva

The Los Angeles Rams have made things look easy through four weeks, finishing the first quarter of the season undefeated. They’ve won all but one game by double-digits, too, absolutely dominating the majority of their opponents thus far.

That’s not expected to change in Week 5 when they travel to Seattle to take on an Earl Thomas-less Seahawks team that nearly lost to the Cardinals. According to the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, the Rams opened as 7.5-point favorites over the Seahawks in Week 5. That line holds true on Vegas Insider, as well.

The over/under opened at 49 points but has since jumped to 50, potentially because of Thomas’ fractured leg that will keep him out on Sunday and for the remainder of the season. The Rams boast the best offense in the NFL and a defense that is starting to click along the defensive line with Aaron Donald and Ndamukong Suh sacking Kirk Cousins a total of three times in Week 4.

Seattle doesn’t stand much of a chance against Los Angeles this week, especially with the Rams coming off a mini-bye.
 
This is one of the top games I've been looking forward to this season. Watching the Rams pound Seattle in their 12th man stadium last year warmed my heart. I'd love to see it again!
 
Big one is Barron - he will do a lot to take away the middle of the defense, instead of other teams going wild at times there.

But a healthy GZ would be nice, if he really is healthy. Don't want him rushed - I want him to be healthy for the Super Bowl.

I wonder if we should start w/Ficken and only use GZ if things are close?

I know that’s probably impossible... but it would be nice to get GZ an extra week.

I trust the Rams medial staff wouldn't put him back in before he's ready, but you are so right, Zuerlien would be great to have in Seattle, but he's extremely critical to the Rams season. He needs to be back for the long haul.

If The Leg can go, this first week let Ficken do the kick offs and the extra points, and let Greg kick field goals.
