Is the Seahawks' home advantage slipping away with their inconsistent performance this season?

Following a spectacular victory in California, the Rams‘ bus has finally arrived at Lumen Field Stadium. The Seahawks are waiting for them and preparing to host one of the most anticipated games of the season. Both teams have had an ordinary first half and must put up a solid performance in the rest of the games.

The victorious team in this game will carry a lot of momentum into the second half of the season. However, there appears to be considerable anxiety that the play will not take place. The reason, you ask? Well, it is the cruel weather that may turn the event into a rainwash.

So far, the weatherman has given his verdict, and it does not seem good. The game has a 37% probability of being delayed due to rain. The average temperature for the game will be 53 degrees Fahrenheit, with occasional gusts. The wind will be blowing at 5 mph from the south-east.

The players will be concerned for the game, as despite the rain, the Lumen Field Stadium will be covered with dew too. There is an 81% likelihood of dew, making it difficult for the players to get a hold of the ball. The amount of dew will rise as the game progresses, making the ball wetter. It will be a slippery scenario for the player, which will benefit the defending team.

The Rams and Seahawks’ matchup has a lot of expectations since both teams have a rich history at Lumen Field Stadium. Both teams have a neck-to-neck all-time record against one another. They’ve squared off 53 times, with the Seahawks leading the series with 27-26. While the Seahawks should have had a home edge, it appears that they may not be able to use this.

The Rams have a strong record at Lumen Field Stadium

Well, a lot of you may already assume that the Rams will be attempting to tie the all-time record. And doing it on the Seahawks’ turf will be ideal for them. And, interestingly, the last time the two teams battled at Lumen Field Stadium, the Rams were the ones that stood tall.

What’s your perspective on:

Is the Seahawks' home advantage slipping away with their inconsistent performance this season?

Have an interesting take?

So far this season, the Seahawks have failed to capitalize on their home edge and rather have a bad record. They had five home games this season, winning two and losing three. If the team wants to have a shot at making the playoffs, they must be especially cautious against the Rams. Who by the way has been playing smooth like butter in the last two weeks?

The Los Angeles Rams have three victories and four defeats this season, but after the NFL Bye Week, the team has been unbeatable. They had impressive victories over strong teams like the Raiders (20-15) and the Vikings (30-20).
