Seattle @ Los Angeles Picks & Props

At a -3-point disadvantage, the Seahawks are underdogs in this week's contest, suggesting more of a reliance on moving the ball through the air than their normal game plan. The pass games of both teams (as it relates to both volume and efficiency) stand to benefit from the still weather conditions (1-mph wind) being forecasted in this game, while rush volume may drop. The Los Angeles Rams defense has been a prominent pass funnel this year, inducing opposing quarterbacks to attempt the 9th-most passes in football (36.0 per game) this year. While Jaxon Smith-Njigba has received 14.8% of his team's red zone targets in games he has played this year, the model projects him to be a more important option in Seattle's offense near the end zone in this game at 31.0%. Jaxon Smith-Njigba has accumulated many more air yards this year (118.0 per game) than he did last year (73.0 per game).

Accounting for their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics, the leading projections forecast the Rams to pass on 62.5% of their downs: the 2nd-highest clip on the slate this week. With a 59.7% rate of throwing the ball near the goal line (in a neutral context) this year, the 8th-most pass-heavy offense in the league in these situations has been the Rams. Based on their underlying propensities and game dynamics, the Los Angeles Rams are expected by the predictive model to call 66.2 offensive plays in this game: the 6th-most on the slate this week. The weatherman calls for 1-mph wind in this game. Low wind generally means increased pass volume, and lower rush volume, increased touchdown potential, and increased passing effectiveness. The Seattle Seahawks defense has been a prominent pass funnel this year, leading opposing quarterbacks to attempt the 2nd-most passes in the NFL (40.4 per game) this year.
