Ahhh, I wait for these opportunities. Backing a good team at home against the Rams. St. Louis simply does not perform well on the road. They are 1-3 SU and ATS away from the friendly confines of their dome. The only team they beat was the lowly Arizona Cardinals. Against good teams the caliber of their opponent this week, Seattle, they have gotten crushed. Versus Indianapolis and the Giants earlier this season on the road, they gave up 44 and 45 points respectively. Heck, they gave up 28 points to San Francisco on the road! Against Shaun Alexander and the potent Seahawks, how do you think they are going to fare? Seattle is scoring 26 points per game and at home they have put forth a 37 point performance against Arizona and a 42 point game against Houston. And, the Hawks want this one! St. Louis managed to take all 3 games last season including the Wild Card game in Seattle that knocked the Seahawks out of the playoffs. Yes, Seattle beat St. Louis already this season but they know that if they are to prove to themselves and everyone else that they are a Super Bowl contender, they need to win this divisional home game. Back to the Rams' road troubles. They are 1-8 ATS in road games in the second half of the season over the last 3 seasons. Take the league's top offense (Seattle) against its 30th ranked defense (St. Louis). Three stars on the Seahawks.
