In a highly anticipated NFL Week 16 matchup, the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks, both with an 11-3 record, are set for a thrilling face-off. Despite a tight head-to-head record of 28-28, Seattle is favored, partly due to the anticipated performances of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who has consistently exceeded 90 receiving yards in 12 of 14 games. Colby Parkinson emerges as the Rams' touchdown hot pick, having scored five touchdowns in his last five games. Key defensive and offensive stats suggest a close game, with Seattle's defensive strength being a crucial factor.

Los Angeles Rams at Seattle Seahawks NFL Week 16 Tips & Predictions


The Rams and the Seahawks are 11-3, are 10-4 against the spread and the head-to-head record is at 28-28, so this matchup can’t be any tighter or hard to split. BUT I’m taking Seattle.

Earlier in the season the Rams got away with a 21-19 victory, but in my opinion they should’ve crushed Seattle with Sam Darnold throwing 4 interceptions that day. The Seahawks defence got stops, frustrating the L.A offence, holding them to just 249 total yards for the match and Matt Stafford to just 130 yards passing. 

It is splitting hairs with the result but the props speak for themselves in this game and it is all about Jaxon Smith-Njigba. His receiving yards total is at 90, which he has hit in all but two matches this season, his longest reception is at 27.5 despite hitting that in 11 of 14 games this season. He went overs in both markets in the last matchup against the Rams.

For a TD I'm going to chase some odds with Colby Parkinson my pick for the Rams. The L.A tight-end got 2 against the Lions last week and is having a career-best year. With Devante Adams very questionable, Stafford will be chasing another target in the redzone and Parkinson looks like it. 

  • Seattle allow the second-least amount of points 
  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba has had over 90 receiving yards in 12 of 14 games this season.
  • Jaxon Smith-Njigba has had a longest reception of over 27.5 in 5 of his last 6 matches.
  • Colby Parkinson has 5 touchdowns in his last 5 games.

Los Angeles Rams Form


The Rams made a statement in Week 15 putting up their second 40+ bomb in consecutive weeks, downing the Lions 41-34 and firming their position as the heavy Super Bowl favourite.

Matt Stafford had another night throwing for 368 yards and 2 touchdowns, connecting with Puka Nacua 9 times for 181 receiving yards. Tight-end Colby Parkinson is quietly on track for a career-best season after his 5 receptions, 75 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns against the Lions, proving very valuable for the Rams offence.

L.A have now won 8 of their last 9 with a wild weather loss to Carolina the only blemish since early October. They have an MVP quarterback and a defence that can get stops when needed.

Seattle Seahawks Form


Seattle survived a late scare from the Philip Rivers led Colts in Week 15 on an  afternoon where their offence failed to fire, kicking 6 field goals in their 18-16 win, the last with just 18 seconds left to win the match. 

The Jaxon Smith-Njigba - Sam Darnold combination was still fire with the pair connecting for 113 yards on 7 receptions, however, the Colts shut down the run-game with Seattle rushing for just 50 yards on the ground. Third-down conversion was also an issue for the Seahawks converting just 2 of 13 in the match. 

Seattle’s defence still ranks first in the league with an average of 4.7 opposition yards per play and just 8.6 yards per passing completion. They once again held their opponents to under their season average of 17.3 points, the second-lowest of any team in the NFL.
