Week 17 Free Football Picks - Bet Rams vs Seahawks - Sunday, January 2nd, 8:20pm EST NBC


The week 17 free football picks on the 2010-2011 Pro Football season are out on the St Louis Rams vs the Seattle Seahawks Sunday night football match-up. This Sunday the St Louis Rams head to Qwest Field as a 3 point favorite to battle their NFC West rival Seattle Seahawks.

The St Louis Rams offense vs the Seattle Seahawks defense is a bad matchup, but favors the Rams by default. The Rams are 25th in yards and points, while the Seahawks are 30th in yards allowed and 29th in points allowed. The one thing that the Seahawks can do is get some pressure on the quarterback. Other than that, they can't do anything on defense. The Rams will be running the ball a lot with their great running back Steven Jackson. Expect him to have a good game. This will set up the play action pass in which the Rams are pretty good at, and that they don't turn the ball over. The week 17 free football picks advantage goes to the Rams by default.

The Seattle Seahawks offense vs the St Louis Rams defense also favor the Rams. The Seahawks are 28th in yards and 23rd in points, while the Rams are 18th in yards allowed and 14th in points allowed. The Seahawks are terrible in running the ball. In order for their running game to work, the passing game needs to be effective. The problem with that is the Rams are one of the best in getting pressure on the quarterback, while the Seahawks give up sacks and because of that, they turn the ball over. Free football picks advantage goes to the Rams.

The special teams favor the Seahawks. The Rams are 17th in kickoff return average but 7th in punt return average, while the Seahawks are 7th in kickoff return average and 5th in punt return average. The Rams are 22nd in kickoff return average allowed and 24th in punt return average allowed, while the Seahawks are 15th in kickoff return average allowed and 20th in punt return average allowed. This is a good matchup because the Rams do have the advantage in the punt return game against the 20th ranked punt return defense, but the Seahawks dominate in both return games against the Rams special teams' defense. Week 17 free football picks advantage goes to the Seahawks.

Both teams have two interesting coaching minds. The head coach for the Rams Steve Spagnuolo came from one of the best defensive minded coaches in Jim Johnson who was the defensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles. His defensive schemes were the best schemes anyone has came up with, and now Steve Spagnuolo has brought those over to this Rams defense who is executing them very well. The head coach for the Seahawks is Pete Carroll. He was the coach of USC college football team, and was great at it. He brings a college type atmosphere in this team. It's a good thing because college like is wilding up the team, and since this game is at home, he also wilds up the fans. It's a pretty good matchup, but I will give the advantage to the Rams because of his defensive schemes that he creates.

My week 17 free football picks on the St Louis Rams vs Seattle Seahawks Sunday Night Football are out. This is going to be a great matchup to determine the NFC West division winner. The Rams will be able to run the ball against this team, and it will set up the play action pass in which the Rams are pretty good at. The Seahawks might not have their starting quarterback Matt Hasslebeck playing. This will be a huge loss because when he has been out, the Seahawks literally can't do anything on offense. But they will still be in the game because of their special teams. I expect at least a touchdown from them, along with great field position. This is going to be an exciting game, and it will go down to the last possession of the game. But I believe that the Rams defense will prevail on the last possession. The Rams sneak out a win, and the spread, 31-27.
