The NFL reshuffled its schedule this week because of a COVID-19 outbreak among players and staff. As a result, Rams vs. Seahawks was one of three games to be postponed. What was supposed to be a late kickoff on Sunday will now be a 7 p.m. ET kickoff on Tuesday. COVID-19 struck the Rams hard, with 23 players in health and safety protocols compared to Seattle’s two. L.A. will likely get several key players cleared to return by Tuesday’s kickoff.

Why the Rams can cover
Los Angeles is coming off a strong win over the Cardinals last week and is the No. 5 seed in the NFC playoff picture. With home-field advantage in the NFC still in play, the Rams will try to overcome the roster chaos. Plus, the move to Tuesday should help them get several key players back.
Quarterback Matthew Stafford, wide receiver Cooper Kupp and defensive tackle Aaron Donald have been able to stay out of protocols thus far, and those are three game-changers who could give the Seahawks problems. Seattle ranks 32nd in the NFL in pass defense and Kupp figures to be a serious matchup problem, as he’s had at least seven catches and 90 yards in every game but one this season.
Why the Seahawks can cover
Player availability is rapidly changing these days in the NFL, but Seattle appears to be in an advantageous roster spot heading into Tuesday. Star quarterback Russell Wilson isn’t on the injury report and wide receiver DK Metcalf (foot) was back on the practice field Friday, giving the Seahawks two of their main components in the passing game. Running back Rashaad Penny is coming off a career day as he posted a 16-137-2 rushing line against the Texans in Week 14.
Despite the slow start to the season, Seattle is trending in the right direction with wins and covers in its last two games. With very little margin for error if it wants to make a run at a wild-card spot in the playoffs, Seattle should be hungry in this matchup.
