With the Book
by Dennis Ranahan

This is about as good as it can get.

The National Football League has taken advantage of the end of the college football regular season by adding a pair of Saturday games to their schedule and no less than three head-to-head games this week will decide leaders in their divisions.

It starts tonight, when arguably the best two teams in the league square off at Lumen Field to decide who rules the West. The Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams come into action tonight each with 11 wins and 3 losses, the winner of this battle will take command of the NFC West Division with two games to go.

The Rams won the first of two games between these two teams last month, a game in which Seattle Quarterback Sam Darnold tossed four interceptions. If the Seahawks turned the ball over that many times at SoFi Stadium, the Rams victory must have been a romp.

Nope.

The Rams won the game by only two points, 21-19, and didn’t cover the three-point spread.
