Pick #1: LA Rams (+7) (-115) @ BetMGM

Sometimes one must sift thru the trash in order to find treasure.  We are going to hold our noses on this selection as it stinks to high heaven. This is strictly a numbers based play as this line is completely outrageous.  Seahawks should not be laying this many points to anyone on the road.  To those who say that the Rams are tanking the rest of the season, I would like to know for what?  They have zero 1st round selections in next year’s draft as they agreed to send them to the Lions in the Stafford deal.  I know, I know….Stafford is out, Kupp is out, Donald is out….but I can tell you who is not out….a team of professional athletes who still desire to win and play hard.  These men are not going to just lie down as they are playing for future contracts, bonus money, and the continued opportunity to remain professional athletes and not be subjugated to driving beer trucks during the offseason.  This game will be a slog fest as the Ram’s defense will limit the Seahawks run game and in doing so will take down Geno Smith‘s play action capabilities.  Schematically, I believe the Ram’s coaching staff to be far superior to that of the Seahawks and will allow their players to be put into positions to succeed.  Remember over the past summer that the Seahawks were going to be one of the worst teams in the league, some could say they have been one of the biggest surprises thus far.  We took a look at the Game of the Year Lines that was being offered in the offseason for this matchup.  I found the GOY Line was anywhere from Rams minus seven to Rams minus ten.  That represents a full 17 point swing in the opposite direction, and I just cannot fathom that.  Classic buy low on the Rams here while selling high on the Seahawks.  I am not saying they will win, but the Rams will absolutely keep this respectable….FINAL SCORE Seahawks 17 Rams 16.  LET’S GO TRASH BABY!!!!!
