The Rams offense has been out of gear since their Super Bowl failure against New England. Specifically, quarterback Jared Goff is not putting up the video game numbers like before. LA is still good offensively, but the juggernaut days have yet to return. It should come as no surprise that the Seahawks are back into NFL betting playoff contention. Seattle is overcoming a rash of injuries to get off to a promising start. Head coach Pete Carroll has built a culture set to sustain success. Most important of all the Seahawks boast a dynamic quarterback in Russell Wilson.
