The 8:30 PM ET Monday Night Football game this week will be played between the St. Louis Rams (2-10) and the Seattle Seahawks (5-7).
It’s not the most noteworthy of Monday Night Football matchups, but there is still plenty of reason to watch if you are interested in wagering on the clash.
The home-team Seahawks are currently 10-point favorites, while the total sits at over or under 37.
These NFC West rivals meet up at least twice every year and Seattle has won 9 of the past 10.
The Seahawks won 16-6 at home and 24-7 on the road last year and they covered the point spread in both games.
St. Louis has been so bad against Seattle historically that they’ve covered the point spread just once over the last 9 head-to-head meetings.
4 of the last 5 games played between these squads have gone under the total.
The Rams have all sorts of injuries and it appears that Tom Brandstater may get the start at quarterback with Sam Bradford (ankle) and A.J. Feeley (thumb) both recovering from their respective ailments.
The Rams have a single road win this season and haven’t covered the point spread in 3 straight games.
St. Louis is just 2-10 against the betting odds this season, while only 4 of their 12 games have gone over the total.
Seattle has gone over the total in 7 of 12 and has been a solid bet despite their sub-.500 record.
The Seahawks have failed to cover the point spread in just 4 of their 12 games and seem to be heating up with outright victories in 3 of their last 4.
Seattle has covered the point spread in 4 of their last 5, while the over has been a winner in 3 of 4.
