What to watch: Seattle linebacker David Hawthorne (knee) and defensive end Raheem Brock (calf) will be game-time decisions, but both are expected to play. … Seattle quarterback Tarvaris Jackson (pectoral) continues to show improved arm strength, and is coming off his most efficient performance last week against Philadelphia. … With Sidney Rice (concussion) out for the season, Golden Tate will get his second straight start at receiver. … St. Louis quarterback Sam Bradford took about half of the snaps with the first unit on Saturday, and is listed as questionable. … Ex-Rogers of Puyallup and WSU standout Brandon Gibson leads St. Louis in receptions with 34 for 401 yards and a touchdown.
The pick: Seahawks, 23-10.
PRIME NUMBERS
With number, name, height, weight and NFL experience with position in parentheses:
SEATTLE SEAHAWKS
7 Tarvaris Jackson (QB) 6-2, 225, sixth season
Rams will be focused on stopping the run, so Jackson needs to make some passing plays.
88 Cameron Morrah (TE) 6-3, 251, third season
His size and speed could cause matchup problems for Rams.
91 Chris Clemons (DE) 6-3, 254, eighth season
Inexperienced St. Louis offensive line couldn’t block him earlier this season.
29 Earl Thomas (FS) 5-10, 202, second season
He’s made only one interception so far this season, so Thomas is due for a big game.
ST. LOUIS RAMS
39 Steven Jackson (RB) 6-2, 240, eighth season
He has to carry the load with Bradford dinged up, but he has never run for a 100 yards against Seattle in 14 contests.
79 Mark LeVoir (OT) 6-7, 310, fifth season
He’ll fill in at left tackle for Rodger Saffold, who’s out for the season with a torn pectoral muscle.
91 Chris Long (DE) 6-3, 270, fourth season
Ex-Virginia player is fifth in the league in sacks with 12.
3 Josh Brown (K) 6-0, 202, ninth season
Ex-Hawks kicker has been with Rams for the past four seasons.
