Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Seahawks fans and fans across the country. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.smartsurvey.co.uk\/s\/EFIUQ7\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up here<\/a> to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It\u2019s NFC Championship week for the Seattle Seahawks! A trip to the Super Bowl is on the line at Lumen Field, with the Seahawks looking to win the rubber match against the Los Angeles Rams, the only team to ever come to Seattle\u2019s current stadium and win a playoff game. Let\u2019s hope they don\u2019t accomplish such a feat for a third time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Anyway, will the Seahawks or Rams win? You can make your usual score margin prediction based on whether Seattle or LA wins by one or more than one possession.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Our other question related to this game is the turnover battle. These teams have been nearly identical across points and yards gained, but the turnover margin is all in LA\u2019s favor. The Rams are +6 through two meetings, with Sam Darnold responsible for all but one of those Seahawks giveaways. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sbnation.com\/nfl-playoffs\/1100722\/nfl-playoffs-2026-turnover-regression-theme-statistics\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">As I wrote in a national column for SBNation.com<\/a>, Seattle\u2019s turnover regression swung in a positive direction against the San Francisco 49ers, while the Rams are very fortunate to avoid negative regression in consecutive weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Under Mike Macdonald, the Seahawks are a perfect 11-0 when they\u2019ve had a positive turnover margin, 10-2 when it\u2019s even, and 4-8 when they have a negative differential. No kidding that teams tend to lose when they turn the ball over more than the opposition, but the Seahawks are 3-2 this year when -1 or worse on that front. That\u2019s not exactly something you want to see too often, so it\u2019s imperative on Sam Darnold and the offense to continue taking care of the ball. Defensively, Seattle\u2019s only takeaway against the Rams this year was a rare Puka Nacua fumble. Matthew Stafford has neither been picked nor sacked, but he has been a little erratic this postseason and is fortunate to only have one turnover these last two weeks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">What will be the story of this matchup? Turnover margin in favor of the Seahawks, Rams, or dead even?<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Vote in the survey below!<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">We\u2019ll see you again with the results on Saturday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL.
