Seahawks-Rams predictions: Seattle Times writers make their picks for Week 10

Bob Condotta (6-2)

Rams 35, Seahawks 31. All along, this felt like a dangerous game for Seattle, if nothing else because the Rams have won four of the last five between the two. The Rams’ only loss came at CenturyLink, where usually reliable kicker Greg Zuerlein missed a 44-yard field goal in the final seconds. It’s tempting to think things can’t get worse for Seattle’s defense, and the guess here is the group will play better. But the injury issues in the secondary may be too much to overcome to get the road “W,” especially if the Seahawks also remain thin at running back.

Adam Jude (7-1)

Seahawks 38, Rams 35. Seattle’s vast defensive issues won’t all get solved in one week, but the Seahawks should have just enough firepower — and pride — to slow down a limited QB like Jared Goff. And Russell Wilson has shown time and again how good he is in bounce-back performances after a loss. This is his chance to nudge back to the forefront in the MVP race.

Larry Stone (5-3)

Rams 34, Seahawks 27. It’s hard to have watched last week’s game in Buffalo and have much confidence in Seattle slowing down any team, even if Jared Goff is no Josh Allen. Just as big a concern is the ability of the Seahawks’ injury-riddled offensive line to stop LA’s pass-rusher extraordinaire, Aaron Donald, from wreaking havoc.

Matt Calkins (6-2)

Rams 31, Seahawks 28. Russell Wilson’s 24 sacks are tied for fourth most in the league, and his line has yet to face a force like Aaron Donald yet. Seattle will keep it close, but the incessantly reeling secondary won’t be able to slow down the Rams, who will move to 4-0 at home.
