USA Today's NFL experts make their picks for a Week 11 showdown between the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks

Something has to give when the Los Angeles Rams (7-2) bring a four-game winning streak into a meeting on November 16, 2025 against the Seattle Seahawks (7-2), who are on their own four-game winning streak. We have best bets recommendations. Los Angeles has posted a 7-2-0 record against the spread this season.

The Seahawks' Week 11 captains are wide receiver Cooper Kupp, linebacker Ernest Jones IV, safety Coby Bryant and running back George Holani. Both Kupp and Jones were members of LA's Super Bowl LVI championship team, and both have had plenty to say.

Each team is elite on offense and defense. Seattle ranks No. 3 in the NFL in Scoring Offense and No. 5 in Scoring Defense while the Rams are No. 2 in Scoring Defense and No. 5 in Scoring Offense. Its therefore not surprising that both the Rams and the Seahawks boast MVP candidates in Matthew Stafford (+550) and Sam Darnold (+2500), respectively.

First place in the NFC West will be on the line in Los Angeles when the Seahawks and Rams go head to head for the first time this season. Both teams are 7-2 entering Sunday's big showdown.
