How Can St. Louis Win?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Get a turnover-free game from quarterback Sam Bradford.<\/p>\n

It hasn\u2019t garnered much attention, but the Rams have quietly become Bradford\u2019s team. He\u2019s the reason they win or lose on a weekly basis now; not Steven Jackson.<\/p>\n

Bradford had a good game against the San Francisco 49ers but the jury is still out on the rookie quarterback. He\u2019s definitely going to be a franchise player and a Pro Bowler, but Bradford had struggled in his first three December games. If he reverts to that fashion \u2013\u00a0where he didn\u2019t top the 200-yard passing mark while throwing for no touchdowns and five interceptions \u2013\u00a0 then the Rams will lose.<\/p>\n

A good game from Jackson would help take the pressure off of Bradford. He made the Pro Bowl this year but his 3.7 yards per carry indicate that he hasn\u2019t been at that level.<\/p>\n

How Can Seattle Win?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ride their defense and special teams to victory. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The offense is influx right now. Even if Matt Hasselbeck can play, he\u2019s not being very effective and the passing game is in shambles. The offensive line can\u2019t protect and the Seahawks haven\u2019t been a good running team in years.<\/p>\n

The good news is that the Seahawks are at home, which is typically one of the best home fields in the NFL. They\u2019ve used their defense and special teams to win games against teams like San Diego and Chicago. They can do it again.<\/p>\n

On defense, they have to shutdown Jackson, who has never had a 100-yard rushing game against Seattle. If that\u2019s the case, the Seahawks should be able to send blitzes and tee-off on Bradford.<\/p>\n

They need to win the turnover battle to win this game.<\/p>\n

Outlook<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Rams looked good last week but they are still a young team with a rookie quarterback. Laying points with them on the road in Seattle is a risky proposition.<\/p>\n

If the Seahawks can neutralize the Rams offense, this will be a dogfight. If that\u2019s the case, the Seahawks will be at home with the crowd urging them on, and they will have a slight edge.<\/p>\n

While Hasselbeck is questionable, the Seahawks are actually as healthy as they have been across the roster otherwise. That will be a key in their win on Sunday.<\/p>\n
