Rams @ Seahawks More or Less Contest
Recommended Prop Pick:
Matthew Stafford more than 301.5 passing yards and Russell Wilson more than 277.5 passing yards
This game sets up nicely for Stafford to have a huge day as the Rams enjoy throwing the ball. He has attempted nearly 34 passes per game and has thrown for over 1,200 yards on the season thus far. He will be going up against a Seahawks' defense that has allowed nearly 311 passing yards per game to quarterbacks so far in 2021, which is ranked third-worst in the league. Seattle also has a trio of weapons in their offense who are capable of scoring quickly and could push this game into a shootout as it is already projected to score a total of 54.5 points.
Russell Wilson will have his hands full against this Rams defense, but should still be able to get over this total. Surprisingly, the Rams are allowing 297 passing yards per game to the quarterback position, which is ranked seventh-worst in the league. This is a total Wilson has gone over in two of the Seahawks' first four games. Wilson and the Seahawks are also slight underdogs in this game, which could lead to added pass attempts down the stretch in order to say in the game. Both of these offenses are capable of putting up a ton of points as well, which again, could lead to a shootout on Thursday night.

Rams @ Seahawks Reception Collection Contest
Recommended Prop Pick:
Cooper Kupp, Robert Woods, and Tyler Lockett to combine for more than 21.5 receptions
This game should feature a ton of passing, so hopefully, we can capture a large chunk of receptions in this contest.
Cooper Kupp is the most obvious choice to begin with here as he has seen a ridiculous 46 targets and hauled in 30 receptions so far in 2021. He will be going up against a Seattle defense that has allowed 53 receptions on 82 targets to wide receivers and should be in a great spot to come down with somewhere between 7-10 receptions, which is exactly what he has done in three of the Rams' first four games this season.
Robert Woods is the next addition to this contest. While he is averaging just 6.25 targets per game, this is a Seattle secondary that he can absolutely take advantage of. In 2020, Woods was targeted 23 times in three games against the Seahawks and managed to come down with 13 receptions. He and Kupp should both be looked at frequently by Stafford in this one.
While many will gravitate towards D.K. Metcalf in this game, Lockett should have the better matchup as Metcalf will have to contend with Jalen Ramsey quite a bit. Lockett has seen 25 targets and hauled in 20 receptions thus far in 2021. The Saehawks are slight underdogs in this game as aforementioned and Lockett will likely be on the receiving end of several late-game targets by Russell Wilson.
