Tonight, the Seattle Seahawks and the Los Angeles Rams will battle in an unusual edition of Tuesday Night Football at Sofi Stadium. Due to COVID-19 issues, this game has been postponed multiple days. Oddsmakers clearly anticipate the extra rest being an advantage for the Rams, who have moved all the way to a touchdown favorite on the spread. Bettors who failed to grab Los Angeles earlier in the week should turn their attention to the prop market leading up to kickoff, due to the fact that the value on the spread and the total has been reduced compared to its opening market price.

Rams vs. Seahawks Player Props

Cooper Kupp – Anytime Touchdown Scorer (-125)

What is the maximum amount of stock that bettors are allowed to purchase in Cooper Kupp this evening? On top of being arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL, Kupp has arguably the most favorable matchup on the field this evening. Kupp, who lines up primarily in the slot, is likely to see quite a bit of coverage from Ugo Amadi in this one. The first time these two teams met, Kupp totaled 92 receiving yards, and that was on a night when Robert Woods exploded for 150 receiving yards. Odell Beckham has looked good in recent weeks, but he is unlikely to threaten to be the team’s top pass-catcher this evening. Expect Kupp to find the end zone in this one.

D.K. Metcalf – Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+115)

D.K. Metcalf has not scored a touchdown since October. Yet, he is still unquestionably one of the top two targets in the Seattle passing attack, which gives him an opportunity to find pay dirt on any given week. During the first eight games of the season, Metcalf secured eight total touchdowns and scored in six of those eight contests. Touchdowns can be a fluky statistic, often unrelated to players’ hot or cold streaks. In a game likely to feature a lot of passing for the Seahawks, getting Metcalf at plus-money could be a worthwhile endeavor.

Sony Michel – Anytime Touchdown Scorer (+155)

In back-to-back weeks, Sony Michel was dominant running the football while Darrell Henderson was out of the lineup. Though Henderson is likely to play this evening, it would be shocking to see Sean McVay completely abandon Michel in this one, who totaled 200 rushing yards and a touchdown over his last two games. Michel is far from a lock to see 20 carries in this one, but he has breakaway potential, with multiple runs of 19-plus yards during the month of December alone. At significant plus-money, this is worth a small stab, especially with it being unclear exactly how healthy Henderson is coming into this matchup.
