This value feels great. Matthew Stafford has the most interceptions in the league among active players and should add to that number on Sunday. Without Cooper Kupp, the Rams offense should not be a cohesive unit, and turnovers are likely.
Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks Prediction
Stafford threw for eight interceptions in nine games last year and 17 INTs in 17 games in 2021. Most of these games were with his most reliable target, Cooper Kupp. On Sunday, he will be throwing to Tutu Atwell, Van Jefferson, and Puka Nacua. It's not exactly the scariest wide receiver room.
Seattle last year had 14 interceptions as a team, which puts them in the top half of the league in regards to that. Young gun Tariq Woolen is only going to keep getting better, and that secondary has been mostly retained and has a huge advantage over these Los Angeles wideouts.
LA enters this game as five-point dogs, which should lead to a passing game script, and we just need one bad ball. I know interception props aren’t always a sure thing, but Stafford is a magnet, and this is the first game back from injury. If there was ever a time to bet on this, then it’s now. Let's roll!
