Here are three advantages the Los Angeles Rams will have during Sunday’s game against the Seattle Seahawks.

It seems like forever since the Los Angeles Rams played a football game after taking down the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday night during Week 4, but luckily the team will return for a tough test on Sunday when they take on the Seattle Seahawks on the road. Over the years, this rivalry has been filled with plenty of excitement, and for the first time in what seems like forever, the Rams are now considered the team to beat in the NFC West.

When looking at how Los Angeles is off to an impressive 4-0 start on top of their success from last year, it’s easy to understand why they’re the new favorite, although that doesn’t mean Seattle is ready to view it that way. The Seahawks know that all it takes is one win on Sunday against their division rivals, and all of a sudden, they’re right back in the race for the NFC West since they will only be one game behind the Rams in first place.

Of course, that’s always easier said than done when looking at the level Los Angeles is playing on at the moment with no signs of slowing down anytime soon. Plus, when looking at how these two teams compare on paper, it’s easy to make the case that the Rams have plenty of advantages over the Seahawks heading into Sunday’s game, and here are three that stick out the most for football fans to keep an eye on that could help the team improve to 5-0.
