2013 Seattle Seahawks Week 17 Preview, Power Rankings, and Playoff Picture
Posted on October 2, 2013 at 03:44 AM.
The Seahawks close out the regular season on Sunday, with playoff implications still on the line as they host the St. Louis Rams at CenturyLink Field. Everything from home field advantage to going on the road as a wild card is in play depending on the outcomes of Sunday's games. So expect the starters to go all out in this one.
| Matchup Preview *|* December 29, 2013 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| St. Louis Rams (4-11, Away) | Seattle Seahawks (14-1, Home) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Players to Watch:
Offense:
Tavon Austin - WR: Tavon is really the only offensive weapon the Rams have. Their backfield has been decimated by injuries, rendering the Rams running game useless, and all signs point to St. Louis throwing a lot in this game.
Defense:
Alec Ogletree - OLB: The Rams young rookie has been very impressive on the season racking up 128 tackles so far, good for 2nd on the team.
Prediction: The fact that there are playoff implications on the line still does not bode well for St. Louis. The Hawks will have their starters in the game and playing hard to make sure the road to the Super Bowl for the NFC has to come through CenturyLink Field. With that as a motivating factor, expect the Seahawks to be their dominant selves.
