NFL Super Wild Card Weekend Picks and Predictions

(6) Los Angeles Rams at (3) Seattle Seahawks

What to watch for: The Seahawks (12-4) haven't always looked great this year, but Russell Wilson is known for his clutch performances, particularly in the postseason, and this team should be re-energized after winning the NFC West and locking up home-field advantage for this weekend. Look for the Seahawks to establish air supremacy and put up big numbers against an outmatched divisional rival Rams (10-6) team. A talented Seahawks receiving corps led by dynamic second-year star DK Metcalf will look to create separation from defensive backs throughout the contest, providing Wilson with windows to fit the ball into.

Rams QB Jared Goff has looked equal parts superstar-like and timid over the course of his career, with his consistency often linked to the number of pieces of the Rams offense that he has at his disposal. While there are no teams who are injury-free at this point in an NFL season, the Rams only had 7 people on their injury report for Wednesday's practice. While that is good news for them, one of these 7 players is Jared Goff himself, who is battling to return from a broken thumb.

Prediction: Seahawks 34, Rams 21
