In what could be one of the better games of the NFL's Week 11 slate, the Rams host the Seahawks on Sunday afternoon (4:25 p.m. ET, CBS). Matthew Stafford will be returning to the field after missing a game and a half with a thumb injury, and he'll be looking to find Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua early and often to lift the 3-6 Rams to a big W. Geno Smith and his 6-3 Seahawks won't be an easy out, though, so this should be quite the divisional showdown.

Best Steelers-Browns prop bets Week 11
1. Puka Nacua, WR, Rams — OVER 66.5 receiving yards (-115)
Nacua should be ecstatic to see Stafford active, considering the stud rookie hauled in just three receptions in each of the Rams' past two games. The explosive wideout went from averaging a gaudy 8.3 catches and 107.4 receiving yards per game with Stafford active all four quarters to three catches and 37.5 yards per game with Stafford sidelined. Nacua should be very active Sunday, considering stud slot cornerback Devon Witherspoon will likely spend most of his time on veteran stud Cooper Kupp and Tariq Woolen will deal mostly with the rookie. 'Riq is no slouch, by any means — but if any Rams receiver feasts this weekend, we think it's Nacua.
2. Geno Smith, QB, Seahawks — UNDER 253.5 passing yards (-120)
Smith has endured some ups-and-downs this season, especially in the early stages of road games. With Aaron Donald, Byron Young, and company bearing down on him, we expect Smith and the Seahawks to turn to the running game even more than usual this weekend. The Rams have allowed 217 passing yards per game on the season, and three of their past four opposing QBs have maxed out at 235 or fewer air yards. Meanwhile, Los Angeles has surrendered 122.8 rushing yards per game and just allowed the Packers to amass 184 ground yards, so we like Zach Charbonnet and Kenneth Walker III to do a big chunk of the offensive damage for Seattle.
3. Kenneth Walker III — UNDER 64.5 rushing yards (-115)
Maybe it’s the two years full of injuries piling up on Walker, but the dude just doesn’t look right over the past couple weeks. He has averaged just 2.8 yards per carry and an abysmal 0.3 yards after contact during that span, while also recording just one run longer than 10 yards. KW3 did break off a 64-yard catch-and-run for a TD last week, but we simply can’t trust him to bring the same burst out of the backfield as he demonstrated earlier in the season. And with rookie running mate Zach Charbonnet seeing a season-high 42 snaps and tying a season-high 11 opportunities last week, Pete Carroll can’t fully trust Walker, either. We like the Seahawks to have a good day on the ground — we just don't have KW3 doing it all himself.
4. Total first quarter points: OVER 8.5 (-110)
With Stafford returning to action and the 3-6 Rams desperately needing a W to stay in the hunt, and the 6-3 Seahawks looking to stay atop the NFC West alongside the 49ers, we expect this one to be a shootout. Seattle averages six points per first quarter and has fared even better over its past three games (6.7 per 1Q), while the Rams have averaged five points per first quarter in games Stafford has started. These squads have also given up a ton of points lately, combining to allow an average of 28.3 points per game over their past three contests. This is a sneaky-good play to cap off a parlay.
