The Seahawks’ season starts will two consecutive games as visitors, in St. Louis and Green Bay respectively. They will get their first game at home on September 27, hosting the Bears. The last time Seattle started the season with back to back road games was in 2011, facing the 49ers and Steelers, losing both games. The Rams at home are always a tough nut to crack for Seattle, suffering two defeats in their last three meeting at Edward Jones Dome.

The Seahawks made a bold move trading lineman Max Unger for tight end Jimmy Graham from New Orleans. They still depend heavily on Marshawn Lynch, having no certainty on who will take on the wide receiver job.

The Rams made headlines drafting RB Todd Gurley in the first round ignoring last year’s suspension and injury issues. Gurley is very talented player who will join Rob Havenstein and Jamon Brown. QB Nick Foles will rely heavily in the running game in his first season with the Rams.

Betting Trends

• Seattle is 1-4 ATS in its last 5 games when playing on the road against St. Louis
• The total has gone UNDER in 5 of Seattle’s last 6 games when playing St. Louis
• The total has gone UNDER in 4 of St. Louis’s last 5 games when playing at home against Seattle
• The total has gone UNDER in 5 of St. Louis’s last 6 games when playing Seattle

This will be a tough physical game in which St. Louis will depend on their defense and impose a rushing game early, fully displaying their new addition Todd Gurley. [The Rams] Beating the Seahawks at home happens more often than not as of recently, so getting the 3.5 points certainly adds to St. Louis' appeal. We believe they will take this one outright, however check back in a few months for and updated preview. In the meantime take the points.

Pick: Rams +3.5

This guy is going to blow it for all of us afflicted with the "disease" tho I'm not sure I'd count on Gurley being unleashed Week 1.

Yeah, he may be jumping the gun there a little with that prediction.

Well at least Vegas knows what we Rams fans know. Outsiders see us as SOSA Rams. That's fine but, NFL coaching staffs know the Rams are tough to beat, especially division opponents. I'm very optimistic about this season, to my eyes the Rams have two of the three phases of the game locked down. If the offense can be just average this is a dangerous TEAM!
