Smith has thrown for less than 240 yards in three straight outings, averaging under 6.0 yards per attempt during that stretch. Yeah, he torched the Rams in the first meeting but Seattle didn't have stud rookie Kenneth Walker III for most of that game but he'll be the workhorse today. It's windy and rainy apparently in Seattle. A shock weather forecast in the Pacific Northwest, I know! The SL Model has Geno with 239 yards. Always a possibility this could be a blowout as well and Smith is pulled to keep healthy for a possible playoff game next week.

The Seahawks will be missing linebacker Jordyn Brooks and likely will be without safety Ryan Neal. That only helps Tyler Higbee's matchup. In the first meeting with Seattle, he caught four of eight targets for 45 yards. The Seahawks give up an NFL-high 71.5 receiving yards and the sixth-most targets to tight ends. Look for Baker Mayfield to pepper Higbee.

The Rams have covered the past four meetings and they'll show up with a strong effort in Bobby Wagner's return to Seattle. The Seahawks' run defense is highly vulnerable, especially with linebackerJordyn Brooks (team-high 161 tackles) out with a torn ACL. That sets up well for Cam Akers; he has piled up 306 yards and three touchdowns in the past three games. Take the points.
