Top 3 Seahawks vs Rams Prop Picks for Jan 5

1. Jimmy Garoppolo 2+ Passing Touchdowns (+173)

It’s not long ago that Jimmy Garoppolo nearly celebrated a Super Bowl victory with the San Francisco 49ers in 2019. He also took the Niners to the NFC title game before losing to the Rams 20-17 in 2021.

Garoppolo moved on after that and has had injury issues, but he will get a chance to make people remember on Sunday when he starts for Los Angeles. No. 1 quarterback Matthew Stafford will be rested.

If the Rams are going to win this game and seal the third seed in the NFC playoffs, Jimmy G will have to play well. We expect he will get the job done and be a solid NFL Week 18 expert pick despite not throwing a pass in a regular-season game since 2023.

If you think Los Angeles will win, bet Garoppolo to throw two touchdown passes in a victory (+500 NFL odds). But we would be a little less aggressive.

Bet This Pick: Jimmy Garoppolo 2+ Passing Touchdowns (+173)

2. Seattle Seahawks to Score on First Drive (+170)

The Seahawks can’t be pleased that they will be home for the playoffs again. But they can claim a share of the NFC West title with a victory. The tiebreaker just isn’t on Seattle’s side.

Quarterback Geno Smith threw three interceptions during the first meeting in Seattle – a 26-20 Rams overtime loss – and should be sharp and ready.

Receivers Jaxon Smith-Njigba (96 catches) and DK Metcalf (939 receiving yards) are expected to play while Zach Charbonnet (nine total TDs) could have a big game on the ground if he is healthy.

3. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (+140), Blake Corum (+110) to Score a TD

Seattle has plenty of players with milestones or incentives pending, but Smith-Njigba’s may be No. 1 on the list of the best NFL game props this week.

The former Ohio State standout is four catches from 100, which would tie current teammate Tyler Lockett for the single-season team record. Geno Smith will be looking for Smith-Njigba all over the field, but especially in the red zone.

Whether Rams starting running back Kyren Williams will play or not, expect rookie Blake Corum to get more carries than his average of 3 ½ carries per contest. The Michigan product has 197 yards rushing and is looking for his first touchdown. That may come Sunday.

Bet These Picks: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (+140) and Blake Corum (+110) Anytime TD
