Week 18: Seahawks vs. Rams

Bob Condotta (11-5)

Seahawks 21, Rams 13: Bobby Wagner alone will probably make sure this won’t be an easy one for the Seahawks. But Seattle’s defense finally seems to be finding some consistency, and a performance similar to the last three weeks by the Seahawks “D” should be enough to get the win in this one — and then wait and see if it proves enough to get to the playoffs.

Adam Jude (7-9)

Seahawks 35, Rams 24: Count on Bobby Wagner to have the Rams defense motivated and prepared. But the Seahawks have so much more to play for here, and their offense is as healthy as it has been in awhile — which should mean a nice win, and then a long evening of watching and waiting on the Lions-Packers result.

Larry Stone (9-7)

Seahawks 23, Rams 17: The Seahawks have everything to play for – or maybe nothing, depending on how the Packers-Lions game goes. They should have enough to hold off this shell of a Rams team, but past letdowns ensure that they’ll need help to celebrate.

Matt Calkins (8-8)

Rams 24, Seahawks 21: The consensus seems to be that the desperate Seahawks won’t lay an egg against the 5-11 Rams at home. But L.A. has been playing reasonably well of late and are capable of playing spoiler Sunday.
