Favorites of a divisional win and playing on MNF are 55-22 including 22-9 last five years. It is an old myth that is a beneficial to bet on MNF home underdogs. Even when the angle was winning it was because it was almost always a battle of two quality teams on MNF. MNF home underdogs with winning percentage of under .500 remain nearly a 60 percent go-against.

Though Sam Bradford was no superstar, he was a notch above average as Rams QB. Now they must go to journeyman Kellen Clemens, who is destined to be a career second and third stringer.

Rams running game is getting 3.2 yards per rushing attempt to teams normally allowing 4.1. Seattle is well above average in all major categories yards per rushing attempt, yards per pass, and yards per play on each side of the ball. St. Louis is below average even when Bradford was in there.

Marshawn Lynch has posted three consecutive 100-yard games against the Rams, including two last year in which he averaged 5.74 yards per carry on 38 attempts.

If Seattle wins the battle of Rams receiver Chris Givens vs. Seattle cornerback Richard Sherman, they win by three or more touchdowns. Especially with a lousy QB tossing the ball for St. Louis, they will.
