6-5-1 yesterday.

Really like the side tonight.....

Seattle -9 -110 (played yesterday at -10)

Don't think it matters. Rams really struggling to score at all, averaging fewer than 9 points on the road this year. The Seachickens have been pretty solid on offense in their last 4 games, including putting up a 24-7 win in St Louis. Rams in a bad travel spot, heading to the west coast for the second-straight week. They are loaded with injuries, and are in real trouble at QB. Sam Bradford is still working through his sprained ankle, but is going to try to go. Kellen Clemens is the backup.

From a Rams blog: Obviously Bradford gives the Rams their best chance of winning. However, the offensive line is a shambles, stuffed with second- and third-string players. They were manhandled by Seattle's defensive front in their last meeting, and figure to be again in enemy territory. That doesn't bode well for Bradford. If he does play, hopefully the Rams will keep him on a short leash, taking extra caution. Running the ball would be a wise idea as well.

The Rams are 1-8 ATS in their last 9 meetings. The Rams are 0-4 ATS in their last 4 meetings in Seattle. The Rams are 1-10 ATS in their last 11 in conference; the Seahawks are 6-1 ATS in their last 7 in conference. The Rams are 0-5 ATS in their last 5 games as an underdog of 3 to 10 points; the Seahawks are 5-1 ATS in their last 6 games as a favorite of 3 to 10 points. The Rams are 1-4-1 ATS in their last 6 on MNF; the Seahawks are 3-0-1 ATS in their last 4 on MNF.

Lean to the Under. Threaded that needle against the Rams last week when SF won 26-0. Probably a similar score tonight.

GL Mallers!

The only thing that worries me about this game is that the Rams can keep the ball on the ground and make it difficult for the Seahawks to score as often as the experts expect. This kinda reminds me of the Jacksonville/Baltimore game a few weeks back where the Jags kept the Baltimore offense off the feild kicked 4 FGs and won the game. Everyone was expecting the Raven to just steam roll the Jags with their offense and everything fell apart for them. Scary game IMO. Keep in mind this is probably the Ram's superbowl right here.

^that's not at all a like comparison. In that example jags = rams, ravens = seahawks
The jags D was much better and they were at home. The rams D is terrible and they are on the road.
That 32nd run D is going to yield to lynch.
That's not even taking into account bradford's ankle and the backup qb situation(s) they have.

I can see this being 27-6 or 27-10.
