Let's remember that this game is on the West Coast in the same time zone at 1 pm. It's all good.

The Hawks are a better team from top to bottom. Yeah their game Monday was a wake up call for them, but the Hawks are way better than the 9ers.
We're winning people, it's simple.
"Top to bottom??" That is incorrect. Their front seven is noticeably better than ours

They beat the Hawks both games last year with a dreadful team and I see the Hawks with the chip, and couple that with all the newcomers on Seattle's roster that have that "prove it" chip.
There will be oodles of Hawk fans in attendance and it's time to spoil L.A.'s homecoming party.

Bevell the key today? Don't say that too loud there Rob -- you're liable to have several on this board reaching for their bottle of Xanax.

One factor I believe you've simply got to consider IMO when taking a look at the Rams loss to the Niners last week is the Chip Kelly factor. The Pace of Play that Chip Kelly plays at is pretty much second to none. That lightning quick pace of play takes some getting used to for players ... AND it's very easy for things to snowball once things start going downhill the wrong way. The Seahawks usual pace of play -- vastly different from Road Runner Chip Kelly. Just something to keep in mind.
Those of us who were athletes in high school and college know very well -- losing doesn't sit well with us. We also know that losing a heart breaker is one thing ... and getting completely annihilated and humiliated is another. The latter is exactly what happened to that Rams team. They were embarrassed and players DO NOT want to feel that again -- especially for an L.A. home crowd whom they will be playing in front of for the very first time. They WANT that home crowd to embrace them ... to fall in love with them ... for those fans to have pride in calling the Rams their team -- not hang their heads in shame.
The Rams play us tough anyway. Jeff Fisher just knows how to play us. Recent history and the record book attests to that fact. And Aaron Donald and the rest of that Rams Defensive Line has been kryptonite to our Offensive Line and Russell Wilson in the past when both been completely healthy. With Ifedi out and Wilson possibly still experiencing the lingering effects from Suh's hit (whether he wants to admit that or not), yeah I totally expect a battle today. If Gurley's comments are any indication of the mentality of the team coming into this game, I expect them to come out with all guns blazing.
I predicted an absolute cardiac arrest of a win for the Hawks in Aros' Prediction Thread ... but a loss today to the Rams wouldn't shock me whatsoever either.
