An NFC West matchup to end the season between the NFC West Division Champions, the Los Angeles Rams hosting the Seattle Seahawks. Head coach Sean McVay already came out and said that the starters will be sitting in this game to be ready for the Wild Card game next weekend. Meanwhile, the Seahawks still have incentive bonuses and milestones to play for. Below are the Seahawks at Rams Preview and Predictions.
As I mentioned above, the Rams will be sitting their main starters in this game in anticipation of getting ready for the playoffs. Jimmy Garoppolo will get the start for the Rams this week. The Rams have also listed offensive tackle Rob Havenstein out this week with a shoulder injury.
Meanwhile, the Seahawks will play their starters in this game and Geno Smith has huge incentives to unlock with 186+ passing yards and a Seahawks victory. On the injury front, the Seahawks are listing defensive tackles Abraham Lucas and Josh Jobe out this week.

Best Bets
The Seattle Seahawks look to close out the season with 10 wins and I believe that will be a motivating factor. Additionally, Geno Smith receives a $2 million bonus if the Seahawks win the game this week. Does that require more motivation? As I mentioned above, the Rams are sitting their main starters in this game. I am not going to think twice about this one.
Best Bet: Seahawks -6.5
Player Prop Best Bet
D.K. Metcalf Over 65.5 Receiving Yards
D.K. Metcalf is 61 yards away from a third consecutive 1,000+ receiving yard season. Head coach Mike McDonald came out in so many words and said he wants to create and help players reach these types of milestones and incentives for their careers. Let’s also not forget that Geno Smith needs 185+ passing yards for a $2 million bonus. I believe we see both D.K. Metcalf and Jaxon Smith-Njigba heavily involved.
