This is a 10* SIDE WINNER on the Rams.

The Detroit Lions will be hoping that the LA Rams can win this game outright. If so, they'll then have a shot at beating the Packers for the final wild-card spot.

An outright win isn't out of the question in my estimation, but in the end I'll recommend to grab as many points as you can.

Geno Smith has exceeded expectations to this point, but the pressure to deliver is squarely on his shoulders here today.

That's not the best thing really. Smith will be without several of his key weapons as well, making his offense really one-dimensional. The Hawks have only averaged 15.7 PPG over their last three games.

The Rams have 14 INT's this year and they have a healthy defensive backfield for the most part.

They also have a confident Baker Mayfield trying to play for a contract, and who has had considerable success in this system in a short amount of time.

The Seahawks defense has struggled down the stretch, and they're missing key pieces.

As I said above, the outright is possible, but let's grab the points.

The play is LA.

Good luck, NP
