Why L.A. Rams are a good bet at -7?

The Rams have become the favorites to win the 2019 Super Bowl because their offense can beat any defense in the league. The Rams didn’t blink an eye against Minnesota’s defense in Week 4. Quarterback Jared Goff threw for 5 TD passes along with 465 yards. Goff decimated the Vikings’ defense. Why would anyone believe that Goff might have trouble with Seattle’s defense? L.A.’s as hot as any team in the NFL right now. They should easily beat the rival Seahawks.

Why Seattle is a good bet at +7?

Are the Seahawks a safe bet for NFL Week 5? It took the Seahawks a couple of games, but they finally got on track. The Seahawks followed up their impressive 24-13 win over the Dallas Cowboys with a 20-17 win over the Arizona Cardinals. In both games, Seattle leaned on its young defense. The Seahawks’ D gives up rushing yards, but it doesn’t give up points, only 20.2 per, and it doesn’t give up passing yards, only 204.2 per. That could be the recipe for success versus the Rams’ offense.

Final NFL Betting Analysis LA Rams at Seattle

Most NFL handicappers believe the Rams easily cover the -7 against Seattle on Sunday. Seattle’s offense isn’t great. Also, while the Seahawks’ defense has played well it hasn’t yet faced an offense as awesome as Los Angeles’. But, the Rams could have trouble because cornerback Marcus Peters is hurt while corner Aqib Talib is on IR. This might be the game where quarterback Russell Wilson throws deep balls to Tyler Lockett and Doug Baldwin. If Seattle can prevent the big play and tighten up once the Rams get the ball in the red zone, the Seahawks could beat the Rams on the money line. Taking the points makes sense. NFL Week 5 Pick: Seattle +7
