The Rams enter as the sharper, more efficient offense in a season-opener where Los Angeles's elite EPA advantage and superior rest positioning give them the edge to win outright in Seattle. The Rams' pass game (7.62 yards per attempt) and run game (4.63 yards per carry) both outpace the Seahawks' units, and their +0.159 EPA per play on offense against Seattle's -0.147 allowed represents a decisive efficiency gap. Seattle's secondary is banged up with Julian Neal sidelined by a leg injury, and the Seahawks' own offense leans run-heavy (51% carry rate, 4.13 yards per carry) in a way that limits their ability to keep pace if the Rams establish early control. The Lumen Field wind and turf won't stop a Rams team that's been sharpened by 120 days of rest and built to move the ball efficiently in any condition. Back the Rams to win.
