Since 2010 (Beginning of Pete's tenure) The Seahawks are 5-0 against the Rams at home and 2-3 against the Rams on the road.
These guys always managed to play us tough with their stifling defense and their masterful trickery and schemes from Jeff Fisher.
Our Hawks are once again favored coming off 2 consecutive Superbowl appearances. The Rams, just like last year, are once again dark horses to make a run at the NFC West title.
Their defensive line is one of the most intimidating units in the NFL. Robert Quinn and Aaron Donald are both ranked by ESPN Insider in the top 6 among all defensive linemen (Bennett is 8th). That is not counting Chris Long who is due for a bounce back year.
To make matters worse, the Seahawks worst unit is without question our offensive line.
It will be interesting to see how Pete schemes the offense around our weakness and their clear strength.
This should be a low scoring game, but I see the Seahawks pulling this one off. Nick Foles is solid, but he's nothing special. His great year was attributed to Chip Kelly's system and the weapons around him. The Rams, while they have some intriguing talent at WR, are not on par with the Eagles in terms of weapons at RB and WR.
Seahawks defense even without Kam, a hobbled Earl, and a question mark with Cary Williams should still dominate. Our defensive line is probably the most underrated in the NFL. We will surprise a lot of people as long as Mebane and Hill remain healthy.
20-10 Seahawks victory
