The Seattle Seahawks have open the 2015 season on the road at St. Louis, and neither one of these teams impressed much during the pre-season. Things look particularly dismal for the Rams who were 0-4 in the pre-season, averaging less than 13 points per game. I think we'll see a defensive battler here between two divisional opponents in Week 1.

Here are my keys to the game:

1. Nick Foles - The Rams dealt Sam Bradford to Philly in the off-season, getting Nick Foles the other way. It's fair to say that the Eagles got the better end of that transaction. While Foles put up some big numbers with Philly in 2013, he wasn't nearly as effective last year. This Rams offense doesn't have anywhere near the talent at wide receiver and running back, and it's going to be a rough season for the 26 year old.

2. Previous History - These teams know each other very well, and they have a history of playing low scoring games. The Seahawks have taken seven of the last 10 meetings, and eight of those 10 games failed to reach the total. The Seahawks have seen the total go under in nine of their last 11 games versus teams from their own division.

3. X-Factor - The Seahawks offensive line looked terrible in the pre-season, and that could be a huge concern against a Rams team with a fierce pass rush. Only J.J. Watt has more sacks than Robert Quinn over the last two seasons, and Quinn leads the NFL in forced fumbles during that span.

Selection: This is a play on the Seahawks@Rams to go UNDER the total (10*)
