With our second to last Thursday Night Football game of the season, Week 16 gives us a BANGER. We have the Los Angeles Rams on the road to take on the Seattle Seahawks. Not only will the winner win the NFC West, they will most likely be the number one seed in the NFC.
Here are my plays for Thursday Night Football Week 16.
Check out the latest episodes of the JCPod for my full breakdowns and analysis. All odds are a mix/the best number from FanDuel, DraftKings, and BetMGM.
Straights
Rams money line (-108)
I think the Rams will be able to come into Seattle and win this massive game. While I’m a bit nervous about the Seattle Seahawks at home, they have just come out too many times with slow starts these last couple weeks. While I like both teams for different aspects each, my decision ultimately came down to trusting in Matt Stafford or Sam Darnold. I think the Rams defense is good enough to get enough stops that Matt Stafford can score enough to win this game.
A win for the Rams not only means that they are they in the driver seat to be NFC West Champions, there is also a really good chance that they could get the number one seed in the NFC. 
Props
Rashid Shaheed over 35.5 receiving yards (-114)
While I’m not 100% sure how much Shaeed will get used, I do like for him to get at least two to three receptions. With how fast and good of a deep threat he is, that two or three receptions could be enough to hit the over. 
Matt Stafford over 0.5 rush yards (+182)
The only risk of taking this bet is that Matt Stafford won’t scramble at all or kneel down situation. With how good the Seattle Seahawks defense is, I expect him to scramble at least one time. 
Kyren Williams rush over 55.5 rush yards (-114)
The 1-2 punch of Williams and Blake Corum has been really effective down the stretch. The message the last couple weeks is that the Rams have been saving Kyren for the playoffs. With this being the biggest game in the Rams season, I expect Williams to get a good amount of work. While Blake Corum will still get used, I expect Williams to get a good amount of the carries. 
As for anytime touchdown scorers, I like: Puka Nacua (+105), Kyren Williams (+115), Colby Parkinson (+240), and Rashid Shaheed (+390)
