vs.

Seattle Seahawks at St. Louis Rams 1:00 PM FOX – Seattle (2-1) is off to a good start is currently tied for first in the NFC West after a 27-20 win over the imploding San Diego Chargers in Week 3.

Their only defeat of the season coming by way of a 31-14 loss to Denver in their only road game in Week 2. Something to consider as they’ve dropped 16 of 19 on the road.

However, one place where the Seahawks haven’t had trouble winning in recent years is the Edward Jones Dome, but they’ll be facing a much-improved St. Louis Rams (1-2), that are coming off a 30-16 beat down of Donovan McNabb and the Washington Redskins at the Edwards Jones Dome.

After losing its first two games by a combined six points, the Rams finally broke through as backup running back Kenneth Darby — who replaced workhorse running back Steven Jackson who suffered a groin injury — scored the go-ahead touchdown, as rookie QB San Bradford earned his first NFL victory while snapping a 14 game home losing skid.

Bradford has performed well considering he has no real talent to toss to, and has stepped up to become the leader that St. Louis was hoping for.

As impressive as the Seahawks victory was last week, they only managed 13 points on offense, and are ranked 29th in total offense, with the defense being no better, at No. 28.

It may be a little premature to think the Rams could string together two wins in a row, but looking at last week’s results, and the Seahawks gimme wins, they could improve to 2-2 with a huge win at home.
