Rams vs. Seahawks Odds, Prediction

In Week 16, NFL fans will be treated to arguably the most exciting Thursday Night Football matchup of the season, with Matthew Stafford and the Rams traveling to Seattle to face Sam Darnold and the Seahawks. Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET on Prime Video.

Entering play, the Rams and Seahawks are tied atop the NFC West standings, with the winner of Thursday’s matchup putting themselves in prime position to win the division and secure the top seed in the NFC playoff picture, which includes a 1st-round bye and home-field advantage until the Super Bowl.

As always, it is worth noting that straight wagers are a far more profitable long-term betting strategy than parlays. Still, parlays can be a fun way to get some extra action on a game to make things interesting!

Thursday Night Football - Same Game Parlay

  • AJ Barner to score a TD
  • Colby Parkinson to score a TD
  • Terrance Ferguson to score a TD

PAYOUT: +16000

AJ Barner to score a TD

Since Seattle’s Week 8 bye, AJ Barner ranks 2nd on the team in targets, receptions, and 1st downs. He’s also 2nd on the team in end-zone targets during that stretch.

The Rams rank 2nd in season-long DVOA against tight ends in 2025, but their defense has taken a notable step backwards with Quentin Lake on injured reserve. This is a more favorable matchup than many large-sample metrics may suggest.

Colby Parkinson to score a TD

Since the Rams’ Week 8 bye, Colby Parkinson has emerged as a legitimate pass-catching option for Matthew Stafford. During his last 7 games, he ranks 3rd on the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards. He’s 2nd in touchdown catches and end-zone targets in that span.

Parkinson has been even more involved since Tyler Higbee got hurt in Week 11. Most recently, Parkinson played a season-high 48 snaps in Week 14 and followed that up by playing 62 snaps in Week 15.

Expect Parkinson to continue seeing plenty of the field on Thursday.

Terrance Ferguson to score a TD

Parkinson isn’t the only Rams tight end who has seen more work of late. Rookie Terrance Ferguson has also set new season highs in snap count in consecutive weeks heading into Thursday’s matchup against the Seahawks.

During the Rams’ last 2 games, Ferguson has been officially targeted only 3 times, but he’s had a couple of targets erased due to penalties. Davante Adams has been Stafford’s favorite end-zone target so far in 2025 but is currently dealing with a hamstring injury. If he’s unable to suit up on Thursday or if he’s limited, Ferguson – a big-bodied option – could be a valuable player to have on the field near the goal line.
