Seahawks QB Russell Wilson UNDER 253.5 passing yards (-130)

Wilson, in two games vs. the Rams during the regular season, passed for 248 yards in a loss and 225 yards in a win. The Rams had the league's No. 1 pass defense, giving up fewer than 191 net passing yards per game.

Seahawks RB Chris Carson OVER 59.5 rushing yards (-115)

Carson did not play against the Rams in the two teams' first matchup. He rushed for 69 yards against the Rams in Week 16. Between Weeks 13-16, Carson had no fewer than 12 carries and no less than 63 yards. Carson's success was part of the Seahawks getting back on track.

Rams RB Cam Akers UNDER 66.5 rushing yards (-115)

Akers only played against the Seahawks in the Rams' win in November, gaining only 38 yards on 10 attempts. He missed the game in Week 16 with a high ankle sprain. He had only 34 yards on 21 carries in Week 17. He is healthy but not 100% still and the Seahawks had the league's No. 5 rush defense. Whether it is QB John Wolford or QB Jared Goff starting, the focus will be to stop Akers and force the quarterbacks to make plays.

Rams TE Tyler Higbee OVER 2.5 receptions (-140)

Higbee had three catches in each of the two matchups between the two teams this season. He also had at least three catches in his final three games, in four of his last five and six of the final eight games.

Rams WR Cooper Kupp OVER 4.5 receptions (-165)

Kupp had five or more receptions in both meetings against the Seahawks. he had at least five catches in 12 different games this season, including his last four games and eight of his final nine.
