The Los Angeles Rams are poised to beat the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle for the NFC Championship game, with Matt Stafford's experience expected to shine. Key predictions include Devante Adams scoring a touchdown and Stafford connecting with Colby Parkinson for over 23.5 receiving yards. With Seattle's defense strong but vulnerable to tight ends, Rashid Shaheed might also exceed expectations in the rushing game. The Rams, despite recent challenges, show strong form with a dependable defense and strategic player targeting.

Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks NFL NFC Championship Game Tips & Predictions


Matt Stafford and the Rams will book their place in the Super Bowl, beating the Seahawks in Seattle as the underdog.

The last 5 matches between Seattle and the Rams have been one score games and it is likely that this will also end up that way. There is almost no bigger moment than booking your spot in the Big Show and that is why I am leaning on the experience of Matt Stafford to make the plays when needed and even leaning on Sam Darnold to either make mistakes or not do enough to win it for the Seahawks.

The Seattle defence has been almost unbreakable by opposing offence over the last 7 games, except against the Rams, who scored 4 touchdowns and 37 points in mid-December, a game that the Seahawks won in OT with a 2-point conversion. 

Moving the ball is difficult against Seattle but if there is one weakness it is against tight-ends where they give up the sixth most yards of any team in the NFL. On that, I am taking Colby Parkinson over 23.5 yards after the Rams TE has been targeted at an average of 6 times in the last 4 matches by Stafford. 

Kenneth Walker will be alone in the backfield for most of the match with Zach Charbonnet injured. With Rashid Shaheed an absolute game breaker for Seattle, expect the special teams expert to get a play or two thrown his way, breaking his 0.5 rushing yards total.

Veteran to veteran is the TD connection in this one with DaVante Adams the pick. Adams hasn’t scored in 4 games laying low in the red zone and is due in the big moment.

  • The Rams have won 4 of the last 6 games against Seattle.
  • Colby Parkinson has had over 23.5 receiving yards in 8 of his last 9 games this season
  • Seattle gave up the sixth most average yards to tight ends this season at 63.33 per game.
  • Davante Adams has not scored a TD in his last 4 matches.

Los Angeles Rams Form


The Rams are one of few this season that have survived the late comeback from the Bears in their Divisional game, despite Caleb Williams throwing the most incredible touchdown pass of at least the last decade to force overtime on the final drive. 

Los Angeles played safe with a punt on the first possession of the extra period and got a pick from Safety Cam Kurl with Matt Stafford leading a 54-yard drive before the Thicker Kicker Harrison Melvis kicked the game-winner.

The L.A offence moved the ball well in the trialing conditions with Stafford finishing with 258 passing yards and Kyren Williams with 87 yards, however there are some concerns. Third down efficiency was poor for the Rams who converted on just 5-16 opportunities and punting the ball 8 times.

The positive was a better defensive performance, picking off Caleb Williams 3 times and holding the red-hot Bears offence to just one touchdown until the miracle final play of the match.

Seattle Seahawks Form


The Seahawks made light work of the San Francisco 49ers in the Divisional Round, crushing their NFC counterpart 41-6. Everything went right straight from the opening kickoff where Rashd Shaheed ran it in for touchdown.

The Seattle defence was unbreakable again against the 49ers, not allowing a touchdown for the second time in 14 days, with master coach Kyle Shanahan having no answer for Mike Macdonald’s defensive schemes. The Seahawks have now allowed just 2 touchdowns in their last 6 matches, that WERE NOT against the Rams. 

Kenneth Walker lll tore San Fran’s defence apart on the ground, rushing for 116 yards from 19 attempts and three touchdowns, while Sam Darnold did the little he had to do, completing at 70% for 124 yards and a touchdown pass.
