The Seattle Seahawks are 12-7 ATS as favorites since 2011<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Seattle has won back-to-back games, including a 34-22 victory over the Arizona Cardinals as 4.5-point road favorites last Thursday, while going OVER the betting total for the fourth time in five contests.\u00a0 The Seahawks have won 15 of their last 17 games against the Rams, which is hard to ignored when looking over the NFL betting lines in Week 8.\u00a0 It\u2019s important to point out that this franchise hasn\u2019t won four games away from the Pacific Northwest since 2006.\u00a0 Seattle is 14-5 SU and 12-7 ATS as a favorite the last two-plus seasons, with the OVER going 12-7 in that situation.<\/p>\n

The Seahawks certainly have an explosive offense, with quarterback Russell Wilson entering with a 97.2 passer rating, which ranks seventh in the league.\u00a0 Seattle also has the ability to win the time-of-possession battle, with running back Marshawn Lynch\u2019s 578 rushing yards trailing only Philadelphia\u2019s LeSean McCoy.\u00a0 Both players could benefit greatly with the potential of former Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Percy Harvin taking the field for the first time this year, as he\u2019s been shelved with a hip injury.<\/p>\n

St. Louis returns home after splitting a pair of road games against the Carolina Panthers and Houston Texans, as the franchise last hosted Monday Night Football in December 2006.\u00a0 The Rams are 2-1 at home this season and 1-1 against members from the NFC West division\u2014something to consider when making your NFL betting picks.\u00a0 Offensively, the team must move past the loss of starting quarterback Sam Bradford, who suffered a season-ending knee injury last week.\u00a0 St. Louis is 7-11 SU and 7-10-1 ATS at home the last two-plus seasons.<\/p>\n

The Rams have one of the more dynamic pass rushers in the league in defensive end Robert Quinn, who is leading the NFC with seven sacks.\u00a0 St. Louis will need a major performance from its stop unit, as backup quarterback Kellen Clemens will be making just his 13th career start.\u00a0 He\u2019s familiar with the offensive scheme after serving as the franchise\u2019s backup the last two years.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Rams due to the underdog covering five of the last six meetings in this series.<\/p>\n
