Milan vs Torino

The Los Angeles Rams will duke it out with the Seattle Seahawks in the first round of the playoffs Saturday at Lumen Field at 4:40 p.m. ET. Los Angeles has a defense that allows only 18.5 points per game, so Seattle's offense will have their work cut out for them.

The Rams had a touchdown and change to spare in an 18-7 win over the Arizona Cardinals last week. Los Angeles' only offensive touchdown came from CB Troy Hill.

Most of the squad's points came courtesy of special teams, which contributed ten. K Matt Gay delivered a perfect 3-for-3 game.

Meanwhile, Seattle sure made it a nail-biter, but they managed to escape with a 26-23 victory over the San Francisco 49ers last week. Seattle's WR Tyler Lockett was one of the most active players for the team, catching 12 passes for two TDs and 90 yards.

Los Angeles is expected to win this handily, but they should have beaten the New York Jets Dec. 20 easily too and instead slipped up with a 23-20. In other words, don't count the Seahawks out just yet.

The third time will be the charm for one of these teams. When the Los Angeles Rams head north to take on the Seattle Seahawks on NFL Super Wild-Card Weekend, it'll be for both bragging rights and the right to move on in the playoffs. The two split the season series 1-1, with the Seahawks taking the Week 16 victory to secure a highly-contested NFC West crown and forcing the Rams to win their regular-season finale against the Arizona Cardinals for the right to face off yet again with Pete Carroll and Co. only six days later.

There's no love lost between these two clubs, as evidenced by perennial All-Pro pass rusher Aaron Donald proclaiming this is precisely the matchup he and the Rams wanted, but Russell Wilson is going to do his best to make sure Los Angeles regrets that wish -- for a second consecutive time. Both sides are monitoring the progress of Jared Goff as he attempts to return from thumb surgery that sidelined him last weekend, among other things on both sides of the table that will help determine the outcome of what is likely to be an all-out brawl between two teams who are very, very familiar with each other.
