Game Outlook
The fantasy semi-finals kick off on Thursday night when the current #1 seed Rams travel to Seattle as 1.5-point favorites to take on their division rivals in what profiles as a huge matchup for post-season seeding. As things stand, both teams are 11-3 with the Rams currently hold the tie breaker over the Seahawks after they beat Seattle 21-19 back in Week 11. If Seattle can even this series 1-1, they’ll leap frog LA and take over the top seed in the division (and NFC) heading into the weekend. Needless, to say, this game is massive for both teams and should be must watch TV.
