Davante Adams is now week-to-week after aggravating a hamstring, making him unlikely for Week 16 vs. Seattle. Expect bookmakers to favor the Seahawks and the total to dip; Rams spreads may move away from L.A. and bettors might back Seattle or target passing props for Puka Nacua and Matthew Stafford. Watch for last-minute line swings before kickoff.
Davante Adams Week-to-Week After Hamstring Setback
Davante Adams aggravated a hamstring in Week 15 against the Detroit Lions and is now considered week-to-week. That makes his availability for the upcoming NFC West clash with the Seattle Seahawks unlikely and injects uncertainty into the Rams’ short-term plans.
Odds Shift Ahead of Rams-Seahawks NFC West Showdown
The Rams opened as 1.5-point favorites on the road with a total near 45.5, but the market reacted quickly to Adams’ injury. The total dropped to about 44.5 and the spread has flipped, with the Rams now listed as roughly 1.5-point underdogs at some books. Moneyline pricing has tightened, with both sides showing similar prices in early lines.
Betting Market Reaction and Early Action
Early betting splits show a large portion of action on the Rams despite the injury news, but books have adjusted lines toward Seattle. Expect continued line movement as injury updates and sharp money arrive later in the week.
Impact on the NFC West Race
This game carries division-title implications: the winner will move into first place in the NFC West, and the result will have tiebreaker consequences with only two games remaining in the regular season. Adams’ potential absence raises the stakes and changes matchup dynamics for both teams.
What This Means for the Rams’ Offense
Adams has been a touchdown machine this season with 60 catches on 114 targets for 789 yards and 14 receiving touchdowns, leading the league in scores. Without him, Matthew Stafford is likely to lean even more on rookie standout Puka Nacua and other receiving options, while the Rams may emphasize shorter, high-percentage passing and the running game to compensate.

Betting Angles and Props to Watch
Punters should consider the following angles: - Spread: Expect the market to favor Seattle; the Seahawks could be the safer play if Adams is officially out. - Totals: With Adams likely sidelined, the total may trend downward — under-market moves are plausible. - Player props: Increase interest in Puka Nacua receptions/targets and Stafford passing props. Consider reduced touchdown juice on Rams skill players. - Live lines: Monitor injury reports and last-minute line swings before placing wagers.
Status updates are likely as the week progresses, so watch official injury reports and late betting movement before making final decisions.
The Los Angeles Rams are expected to be without Davante Adams in Week 16, shifting their odds against the Seattle Seahawks.
