St. Louis Rams at Seattle Seahawks – Qwest Field 4:15 PM EST (Artificial)

Records: St. Louis 4-4 (5-3 ATS), Seattle 5-3 (3-5 ATS)

Line: ‘Hawks -3 (Opening: ‘Hawks -4)

Over/Under: 43½ (Opening: 44½)

Key Points: The balance of NFC West power hinges on the outcome of this game, with Seattle holding a current one game advantage on St. Louis.

The Rams are looking relatively healthy in this one though.

LB Pisa Tinoisamoa is questionable with a hand injury but DE Leonard Little (knee), S Jerome Carter (elbow), LB and ex-Seahawk Isaiah Kacyvenski (hip) are probable and WR Kevin Curtis, who has injuries to his upper and lower body (chest and abdomen), is expected to play.

The Seahawks aren’t so lucky.

Once again, QB Matt Hasselbeck (knee) and RB Shaun Alexander (foot) aren’t expected to see any action. Both are officially listed as doubtful.

LB D.D. Lewis (toe) and DT Marcus Tubbs (knee) are both out.

WR Bobby Engram (questionable) continues to recover from a thyroid infection and will likely miss the game too.

WR Nate Burleson underwent an MRI on his foot and may still return punts, depending on the results.

The Rams are 3-1 in their last four ATS when not listed as a chalk.

Seattle is 3-1 ATS at home so far this season.

Winneronline Opinion: The Seahawks were able to beat the Raiders despite missing Hasselbeck and Alexander. They won’t be twice lucky.

San Diego Chargers at Cincinnati Bengals – Paul Brown Stadium 1:00 PM EST (Artificial)

Records: San Diego 6-2 (5-3 ATS), Cincinnati 4-4 (3-4-1 ATS)

Line: Chargers -1 (Opening: Chargers -1½)

Over/Under: 48 (Opening: 46½)

Key Points: San Diego DT, Luis Castillo is listed as questionable with an ankle injury.

S Bhawoh Jue (knee) and WR Vincent Jackson (leg) are both listed as probable.

The Bengals’ O-line will be missing C Rich Brahm and OT Levi Jones, both out with knee injuries and OT Adam Kieft will miss the rest of the season with the same injury.

DT Sam Adams (knee) and RB Rudi Johnson (thigh) are both probable.

San Diego has paid out at a record of 6-2 in their last eight matchups against the Bengals and has also taken 16 out of their last 22 when listed as a road chalk.

When the over/under is listed between 42½ and 49, Cincy has an atrocious home record of 1-9 ATS.

Winneronline Opinion: The numbers are pointing to a San Diego win.
