The Seahawks' ability to nearly erase opposing wide receivers will be central to this matchup. Seattle gave up the second-fewest yards to wideouts throughout the regular season and the eighth-fewest receptions.
This game could hinge on whether that strength is maintained and the Seahawks can limit the chunk plays from the league's top-ranked passing and scoring offense. It's a unit feeling confident in that regard after holding the 49ers' wide receivers to a combined 24 yards on three catches.

🙌 Best Rams vs. Seahawks touchdown scorer prediction: Colby Parkinson (+320) ⭐⭐⭐⭐

A struggle to defend tight ends is one of the few weaknesses to exploit when facing an intimidating Seahawks defense. Seattle gave up the sixth-most yards to the position during the regular season, and the fifth-most catches.
It's a perfect fit then to ride with the Rams' Colby Parkinson to score, as he's been emerging as a touchdown menace. His eight touchdowns ranked fourth among tight ends this season, and he's now scored nine times across his last 11 games. He sat ninth leaguewide with 20 red-zone targets, too.

We could be in for a typically soggy northwest experience, which might impact the passing efforts of both teams to some degree.
The temperature will be tolerable at 43 degrees for kickoff before dropping to 39 come the fourth quarter, and there will be nearly no wind. However, there's a 54% chance of precipitation, which could make the running game more of a focus. Perhaps consequently, the total for this game has fallen from the opening number of 47.5 to 46.5.
