Seahawks vs. Rams: Best NFL prop bets and anytime touchdown scorer picks for NFL week

The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams will meet in an NFC West matchup in Week 18.

The Rams can still clinch the No. 3 seed in the NFC with a win on Sunday, but even with that being the case, Sean McVay has announced that he plans to rest several starters, including quarterback Matthew Stafford. Backup quarterback and NFL veteran Jimmy Garoppolo will start in his place.

Can we still take advantage of this game from a betting perspective? I certainly believe it. Let’s dive into some of my favorite gamer accessories.

Jimmy Garoppolo OVER 197.5 passing yards (-115)

Jimmy Garoppolo to review total passing yards is my #10 Ranked Player Accessory for week 18:

Sean McVay has announced that Jimmy Garoppolo will be the starting quarterback in place of Matthew Stafford, and while many people think it’s a big drop at the position, I’m not part of that group. Stafford has managed to average 235.1 passing yards per game this season despite his advanced metrics being less than impressive. Garoppolo still has the ability to put up some numbers in this offense.

Let’s also remember that the Rams are still playing for the number 3 seed in the NFC Playoffs. McVay can rest the starters, but I still expect him to come out firing with his backups.

DK Metcalf Longest Receptions OVER 22.5 yards (-109)

The Rams defense has allowed the fourth-most receptions of 20+ yards this season with 53, meaning the Seahawks should be in a good spot to make some deep throws.

DK Metcalf is their deep throw specialist and has recorded a reception of at least 23 yards in 10 of his 14 games this season. That makes recording a 23-yard reception a great bet for Week 18 action.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Anytime Touchdown (+130)

Jaxon Smith-Njigba has taken over as the Seahawks’ number one receiver and leads the team in receptions (96), receiving yards (1,121) and, most importantly, touchdowns with six.

It’s also worth noting that his best game of the season came against this Rams team when he had seven catches for 180 yards and two touchdowns. He’s a great bet to find the end zone again against the Rams in Week 18.
