VS.
Season Finale!
It would seem the 9ers have the division as they are playing a team with a 4th string QB at the helm that appears a perfect victim, but the 'Hawks do not want to roll over and play dead with a chance to maintain a full head of steam into the playoffs.

Things to Watch:
1. Subs/Health
There will be a lot of opportunities to let up in this game including at half when the team is likely to spot that the 9ers have demolished Arizona. If that is the case, I for one have no problem resting guys and not taking chances with health, but I do want the win and think it would be bad for our momentum to lose.
2. Rookie TD Record
1 to tie 2 to break Peyton Mannings record for DangeRuss
3. Exotic Blitzes from the Rams
The rams have blitzed the 2nd most in the NFL and use very complicated schemes. This has kept them in a lot of games. We'll want to keep RW upright and use hot reads all over the place.
4. Trick Plays
I somewhat expect Pete to try a gadget out in this game. He loves that stuff and might not feel the constraints of a normal game scenario with the playoffs clinched.
5. Aloha Clink
One for the road as surely this will be the last time the home field advantage is in effect this year. Let's hope the 12th man gives them a to go box.
6. Turbin for 100.
I expect Lynch to see a lot of rest and that just might mean Turbin gets featured. It might be a good barometer of what we can expect in the future.
Predictions-
Seattle 24 Rams 14
