Los Angeles Rams NFL Week 13 Betting Lines
The defending Super Bowl champions won’t be able to defend their title in the playoffs. The Los Angeles Rams are 3-8, and they have the second-worst record in the NFL. They were 3-3 at the bye week, but they have since lost five straight games and no longer have star receiver Cooper Kupp. That’s why the Rams are more than a touchdown underdog at home against the Seattle Seahawks this weekend.
On Sunday, December 4, 2022, the Los Angeles Rams will host the Seattle Seahawks in an NFC West showdown. These teams will meet at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California at 4:05 p.m. ET on FOX.

Los Angeles Rams Week 13 Matchup
The Seattle Seahawks are competing with the San Francisco 49ers for first place in the NFC West. Seattle is sitting at 6-5 after consecutive losses to Tampa Bay and Las Vegas, but the Seahawks are expected to bounce back this week against the Rams.
Geno Smith has been great under center for the Seahawks this season. Smith has played much better than Russell Wilson, earning numerous plaudits for his performances. The long-time backup is completing 72.8% of his passes for 2,802 yards (7.9 YPA) with 19 touchdowns and five interceptions. Smith has been a decent runner too, running for 240 yards (4.8 YPC) and a touchdown.
Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf could end up with 1,000-yard seasons, while rookie running back Kenneth Walker III has run for 613 yards (4.5 YPC) and nine touchdowns. Waker has been completely held down the last two weeks though with 24 carries for 43 yards.
The best defensive player in the game might not suit up on Sunday. Aaron Donald is considered questionable to play with a high-ankle sprain, and that would have an enormous effect on this line. Donald is an absolute game changer with five sacks and 10 tackles for loss, and he continually draws double teams from offensive lines.
It sounds like Matthew Stafford might not play another snap for the Los Angeles Rams this season. Stafford has missed two of the last three weeks due to lingering issues with his neck and a concussion, and the Rams just might decide to shut him down given they won’t be making the postseason. John Wolford is dealing with a neck injury too, so Bryce Perkins will likely make his second start this week.
The Rams are dealing with some major injuries along the offensive line too. Rob Havenstein is the only starter that is set to definitely play on Sunday. David Edwards, Chandler Brewer, and Tremayne Anchrum Jr. are all on injured reserve, while Ty Nsekhe and Brian Allen are considered questionable. Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson II are on injured reserve too, so Van Jefferson will likely be the top target.
Seattle doesn’t have a great defense. The Seahawks rank in the bottom five in scoring defense (25.5 PPG) and total defense (388.7 YPG). They have had a tough time stopping the run, but they have done a decent job getting to the quarterback and forcing turnovers.
Los Angeles Rams Week 12 Recap
Bryce Perkins made his first NFL start last week against the Kansas City Chiefs. Perkins lit up the stat sheet during his time at Virginia, but he found the NFL is a different animal. He completed just 13 of 23 passes for 100 yards with a touchdown and two interceptions, and he was sacked three times in a 26-10 defeat.
The Los Angeles Rams ended up with just 198 total yards of offense. Perkins was the leading rusher with nine carries for 44 yards, while Cam Akers had eight carries for 37 yards. Van Jefferson was the leading receiver with three catches for 29 yards and a TD, while rookie running back Kyren Williams had 14 touches for 60 yards.
Patrick Mahomes completed 27 of 42 passes for 320 yards with a touchdown and an interception in the Chiefs’ comfortable 16-point win. Travis Kelce was his top receiver with four receptions for 57 yards and a TD, while Isiah Pacheco had 22 carries for 69 yards and a TD.

This is the second stint of the Rams in Los Angeles, where they originally played from 1946 through 1994 before moving to St. Louis, where they operated from 1995 through 2015.
In 1999, the Rams won their first Super Bowl championship in franchise history. And then, in 2021, the Rams were Super Bowl champions for the second time. Most important of all, it was the first Super title for the Los Angeles version of the Rams.
The Rams have a rich history that began in Cleveland in 1937. The Rams moved for their first stint in Los Angeles in 1946. They won one NFL championship and played in three other championship games from 1949 through 1955.
In the late 1960s, the Rams became a power in the NFL during its golden age. The famed Fearsome Foursome was one of the most dominant defensive lines in NFL history. And quarterback Roman Gabriel was a matinee idol.
Head coach George Allen put the Rams into the playoffs in 1967 and 1969. But Los Angeles flopped in the divisional round both times. Los Angles eventually fired Allen despite being in the hunt every year he was in charge.
Check Knox and John Robinson were consistent winners as head coaches of the Rams. But a Super Bowl title proved elusive.
Since their return to LA in 2016, the Rams have been consistent winners with four playoff berths in the last five years. In 2020 the Rams moved into SoFi Stadium, the most spectacular and modern of its kind in the world.
