Free Pick: Seattle -9.5

I know that Seattle is really banged up at the receiver position. The only reason I am picking this game is because the Rams are looking absolutely terrible. Their 2008 regular season performance has been analyzed in my week 2 recap where I said “St. Louis has been exceptionally terrible offensively and defensively, allowing the league’s worst 481.5 yards and second worst 39.5 points and gaining an average of 183.5 yards and averaging 8 points per game, ranking at the bottom of the league in both categories. At this point, there may be significant value betting against the Rams. Last year they were 1-7 ATS in their first 8 games, going 0-4 on the road.” Seattle proved on Sunday that they could still score with a depleted offense, as they managed to generate 30 points in a 33-30 overtime loss to San Francisco. Seattle has struggled significantly this season but St. Louis has struggled a lot more. The main reason I like the Seahawks is because the Rams won’t be able to generate any kind of offense and are extremely vulnerable defensively.
