Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks: Predictions, picks and odds for NFL Week 9 game

The NFC West is truly up for grabs, and the Los Angeles Rams (3-4) and Seattle Seahawks (4-4) will try to position themselves toward first place when they meet in Week 9.

Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua are back for Los Angeles and suddenly the season has renewed hope for the Rams. They had an impressive outing against a good Minnesota Vikings team and a playoff run doesn’t seem like it’s out of the realm for a team trying to get back in the postseason.

Just one week after an impressive road victory, Seattle returned home and got overpowered by the Buffalo Bills in a game that was never close. The Seahawks have been struggling after a 3-0 start, and need to get out of the slump quickly.

Lorenzo Reyes: Rams 26, Seahawks 20

This is a tough matchup to predict; they’re both division opponents and they’ve both been up-and-down. But, now that the Rams are healthy at receiver, I think L.A. is a much tougher out, and a team that is a candidate to surge in the second half of the season.

Tyler Dragon: Rams 24, Seahawks 21

Winners of two in a row, the Rams are getting healthier and finding their groove. The Seahawks have lost four of five games. The NFC West is wide open. Every team in the division has four losses. The Rams are a different team with wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua on the field.

Richard Morin: Rams 23, Seahawks 21

The Rams prevail in a tough divisional showdown that should be closely contested. 

Jordan Mendoza: Rams 24, Seahawks 22

Are the Rams back? The returns of Matthew Stafford’s top weapons has Los Angeles feeling good while Seattle is all out of sorts. It’s a game that pushes a Ram to victory and Seahawk to a loss.
