\"Rams<\/a>
St. Louis Cardinals QB Sam Bradford has been under siege this year<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Seattle is the only NFL team that\u2019s averaging more yards rushing (141.3) than passing (127.7), but the team has still managed to win two of its first three games, including back-to-back home victories over the Green Bay Packers and Dallas Cowboys.\u00a0 \u201cWhat\u2019s more important to us is that we take care of the football,\u201d commented Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll.\u00a0 The Seahawks have turned the ball over only two times, but they also rank 30th in third-down conversions.\u00a0 Seattle is 2-8 ATS on the road when the total is 38.5 to 42, with the \u201cunder\u201d going 6-5 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks are giving up a league-low 13.0 points per game, while also ranking fifth in the NFL with 10 sacks.\u00a0 Seattle may have a field day against Sunday\u2019s opponent, considering it allowed its quarterback to get sacked six times last week.\u00a0 On the offensive end, running back Marshawn Lynch continues to be the focal point, leading all NFC runners with 305 yards on the ground.\u00a0 He gained 203 yards in the team\u2019s two victories in this series a year ago.<\/p>\n

St. Louis was held to a season-low 160 yards in a 23-6 setback to the Chicago Bears as seven-point road underdogs last week, but the team did win its only home game of the year against the Washington Redskins on Sept. 16.\u00a0 The Rams are definitely going to be challenged offensively in going against one of the league\u2019s best defenses.\u00a0 \u201cThey\u2019re good,\u201d stated Rams quarterback Sam Bradford this week.\u00a0 \u201cThey\u2019re big and physical up front and have a lot of speed in the back end.\u00a0 St. Louis is 6-5 ATS as a home underdog the last two-plus seasons, with the \u201cover\u201d going 6-5 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Rams\u2019 season will certainly be defined in the next five days due to playing the Seahawks and Cardinals over that span, which is a tall mountain to climb when you consider they\u2019ve gone 4-26 in division games over the last five seasons.\u00a0 St. Louis has gone 1-13 against those two rivals at home since the 2005 campaign.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Seahawks due to their 9-1 ATS mark in the last 10 meetings, while the Rams are 3-7-1 ATS versus winning teams.<\/p>\n
