Los Angeles Rams vs Seattle Seahawks Game Preview
The Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks meet with a Super Bowl berth on the line on Sunday, January 25, 2026 (6:30 PM ET) at Lumen Field. Seattle is dealing with two key pressure points: Sam Darnold’s oblique and the run-game rotation after Zach Charbonnet’s season-ending knee injury. The Rams arrive with the confidence of two straight road playoff wins, plus an offense that can score in bunches if protections hold up in a loud environment.

Los Angeles Rams vs Seattle Seahawks Odds
| Team | Moneyline | Spread | Total |
|---|---|---|---|
| Los Angeles Rams | +128 | +2.5 (-105) | O 47.5 (-107) |
| Seattle Seahawks | -153 | -2.5 (-116) | U 47.5 (-114) |
Los Angeles Rams Betting Form
The Rams’ case starts with offensive ceiling. They can create explosive plays with Stafford when the pocket stays clean, and they’ve already proven they can win away from home in the playoffs. The wrinkle is Seattle has seen this offense twice and will try to win with disruption, not shootouts.
If the Rams are going to cover as a short dog, they need two things to travel: communication up front and ball security in a stadium that forces silent counts and punishes slow operation.

Seattle Seahawks Betting Form
Seattle’s best version is still physical and script-driven. When the Seahawks can run the ball, stay ahead of the chains, and let their pass rush dictate, they don’t need Darnold throwing 35 times. That matters more this week with Charbonnet out, and it matters even more if Seattle’s offensive line is anything less than stable.
Darnold has also seen the Rams’ disguise-heavy coverages turn into sacks and turnovers, so Seattle’s “betting form” angle is about discipline. Avoid negative plays, avoid forcing the ball, and keep the game in manageable thirds so the noise and pressure don’t stack mistakes.

Matchup Breakdown
1) Can Seattle stay on schedule against a Rams defense that’s seen Darnold’s tendencies?
The Rams have consistently made Darnold play fast, and that’s where the turnovers show up. Seattle’s cleanest path is early-down success on the ground and short throws that keep third down reasonable.
2) The Rams’ protection and communication determine their scoring ceiling.
Seattle’s crowd will challenge timing and operation. If the Rams avoid penalties, avoid free rushers, and keep Stafford upright, they can produce the chunk plays that swing a 2.5-point spread.
3) Injury leverage points matter more than usual.
Charbonnet’s absence changes Seattle’s red-zone and short-yardage options, and if Seattle’s left tackle situation is compromised at all, it puts even more weight on Darnold’s ability to get the ball out on time.

How to use these this week
- Seattle’s O/U trend profile points to scoring, but this matchup is also sensitive to protection, sacks, and turnovers. If the game starts with punts and pressure, the total can lag even with two capable offenses.
Predictions and Best Bets
This is a tight-number game, and the spread is basically asking one question: do you trust Seattle to play cleaner than the Rams in a high-noise environment while managing injuries? If Darnold is comfortable and Seattle’s line holds up, the Seahawks can win with tempo control and selective shot plays.
But the Rams’ path is more direct. They’ve already proven they can win on the road in the playoffs, and getting +2.5 gives you coverage in a one-score finish if Stafford engineers enough scoring drives. With Darnold’s history against this defense and Seattle’s backfield loss, the underdog points have value.
