Quarterback Austin Davis completed 21-of-42 passes for 236 yards, a touchdown and an interception. Davis has thrown for 938 yards and seven touchdowns over his last three starts.
The Rams have had a lot of trouble getting to the quarterback this season. After racking up 53 sacks last season, with 19 of them coming from defensive end Robert Quinn, the Rams have been able to record only one sack thus far on the season, with that coming from standout rookie defensive tackle Aaron Donald in Week 2.
Free St. Louis vs. Seattle Pick:
The Seahawks won’t be happy after picking up their second loss of the season last week, this one at home no less.
They’re certainly far superior to a Rams team that has only one sack this season. With a desire to get their passing game going, the Seahawks should be able to build a margin here.
Additionally, the under is worth a look as both teams have been doing a fair job defensively. The Rams will certainly do the majority of their work on the ground when on offense, but the Seahawks should do a lot of the same as they look to get Marshawn Lynch involved against after he was an afterthought last weekend.
