Do the Rams really want to face the five seed (maybe us)?

Something strange is going on with the odds for the LA-Seattle game coming up.

When the odds opened, the Rams were favored by 3 points, according to ESPN. Not too surprising. But now, the odds favor the Seahawks by 5. I don’t think I ever remember a game where the odds changed so drastically.

If the Rams win, they will have the 3 seed and a home game with either the Commanders or the Packers. If they lose, and Tampa wins, the Rams drop to the four seed and a date with either the Vikings or us.

Speculation is McVay is resting starters as a priority over improved seeding.

Wow.

McVay never plays his guys when he doesn’t have to

He has a guaranteed home game and a week of rest and that’s all that matters to him

Truthfully, I think they would love a chance to knock us out of the playoffs.

There’s no one who wants to play Detroit.

There is no doubt in my mind McVay saw an exposed Lions defense last night and wants revenge for last year’s playoffs loss.

Unless the Falcons get in, the Rams will be worst team in the NFC playoff picture IMO.

He doesn’t even know who the five seed is and won’t when they play. He just wants a healthy and rested team. It’s that simple.

I think its a mistake. You play for the higher seed. We were a three seed last year and had two home games. 3 played 4 (Tampa) in the second round. McVay would look pretty dumb if he concedes the three seed and the same thing happened.

I love our coach and how we played last night. There’s no mealy-mouthed grey area.

That said, I agree that he’s not hell bent on playing us or Minnesota. But it does seem like a taller task, even with rest, than GB or Washington.

Although, a home game perhaps doesn’t mean much in SoFi :wink: :wink:
