The Seahawks are 17-4 ATS in their last 21 games in Week 13. The Rams are 1-6 ATS in their last 7 home games and 3-9-1 ATS in their last 13 games overall. The over is 4-1 in Seahawks last 5 road games. The under is 9-4 in Rams last 13 games overall. The Seahawks are 2-8 ATS in their last 10 meetings in Los Angeles and 1-6 ATS in their last 7 meetings.
This is a lot of chalk to lay with a road team, especially when the Seattle Seahawks aren’t world beaters. Yes, the Seahawks are a playoff contender and playing well for the most part, but their defense leaves a lot to be desired. With all that said, the Los Angeles Rams are way too banged up on the offensive side of the ball to back with confidence here. The Rams have scored 17 or fewer points in 6 of their last 8 games, and they often look like a team that’s waiting for the season to end. Thick line, but it’s the Seahawks or pass for me.
