The Seattle Seahawks are set to face off against the St. Louis Rams in NFL Week 16 action. What five bold predictions can be made for the game and what should fans be on the lookout for throughout the game?
1. Russell Wilson Continues His Impressive Play with Huge Performance
Over the last four or five weeks, Russell Wilson has been playing like a legitimate MVP candidate. He has been proving that he is indeed one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL and has led his team back to relevance in the NFC. Seattle will see Wilson continue his impressive play with yet another huge performance this week against a solid St. Louis defense.
2. Todd Gurley Will Rush for 125 Yards, Two Touchdowns
St. Louis has to be excited about the future that rookie running back Todd Gurley has. He has come out in his first NFL season and been an absolute stud and there is no question that he has more room to grow over the next few seasons. Gurley will show off some of his superstar talent this week against the Seahawks by rushing for at least 125 yards and two touchdowns.
3. Seattle Forces at Least Three Turnovers Defensively
One weakness that the Rams have had this season has been turning the football over, mainly due to their quarterback play. Seattle's defense is still one of the best in the NFL and they will force at least three turnovers. St. Louis is not going to get a ton going offensively and turnovers will be a huge Achilles heel for them.
4. Tavon Austin Will Total 100 Yards, Touchdown
Throughout the course of the 2015 season, the Rams have figured out different ways to use Tavon Austin. He is a speedster and is able to make an impact both through the air and on the ground. Austin will total 100 yards and a touchdown on the afternoon to help give his team a chance to pull out a surprise win.
5. Seattle Pulls Off an Easy Victory to Improve to 10-5
St. Louis isn't going to go down without a fight, but the Seahawks are by far the better football team. They will pull off an easy victory this afternoon to improve their record on the season to 10-5. Wilson and company should dominate the game from start to finish, although the Rams could put up some production if they can take care of the football.
