Mike Florio and Chris Simms evaluate the Rams’ decision to sit Matthew Stafford in Week 18 and how the outcome of that game could have a big effect on their playoff trajectory.

After clinching the NFC West last week and locking up a playoff berth, the Los Angeles Rams don’t have much to play for in Week 18. They can secure the No. 3 seed with a win over the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, but they can’t drop further than No. 4 – and that will only happen if they lose and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers win.

The Seahawks and Rams meet for a season rematch. We continue our NFL odds series with a Seahawks-Rams prediction and pick.
