Thursday is already back, and Week 5’s TNF showdown is between two rivals in the NFL’s toughest division.

The NFC West is the only division to have all four teams with Super Bowl futures odds of 25/1 or lower at Caesars Sportsbook. The Rams lead the way at 10/1, followed by the Cardinals at 16/1, the Seahawks at 25/1 and the 49ers at 25/1. Only two other divisions (AFC North, AFC West) have two squads that meet the mark, let alone all four.

The Rams were upset at home last weekend against the Cardinals, while the Seahawks came through with a victory on the road against the 49ers. Now these two NFC West foes face off in Seattle, though it’s the road team that is favored in this one.

This affair originally opened as a pick’em at Caesars Sportsbook, but the line has since shot up to Rams -2.5. Los Angeles is priced at -135 on the moneyline against Seattle (+115), whereas the total of 54 is the second-highest of the Week 5 slate, only trailing Bills at Chiefs (56.5).

“We took a $500,000 bet on Seahawks moneyline today,” said Craig Mucklow, Vice President of Trading for Caesars Sportsbook. “With that bet, I’d be amazed if we moved to Rams -3. If that bet never came in, I would have expected this to touch 3. There hasn’t been buyback from sharps at Seahawks +2.5 yet. So I think this line will close at 2.5 for us.”

For spread, the Rams have captured 81% apiece for both total number of tickets and total dollars wagered against the Seahawks. Los Angeles has also nabbed 58% of the total number of tickets for moneyline, while Seattle has seized 80% of the total dollars wagered.

Each of these opponents have drawn a noteworthy wager. A Nevada bettor placed $500,000 on Seahawks ML +125 for a total potential payout of $1,125,000, while another Nevada bettor put down $440,000 on Rams -2.5 (-110) for a total potential payout of $840,000.

“Ideally, we want a Rams win but a Seahawks cover,” Mucklow said. “We don’t have a lot of wiggle room there, though. As of now, I would take a Rams cover over a Seahawks win. We’re definitely rooting for the under here. The public will always take the over on prime-time games, and most of those overs have been hitting this season. This is also one of the better Thursday night matchups, so the over money will be even more.”

The Rams are the only NFL team where the over has gone 4-0 in their games this season. The majority of Caesars Sportsbook bettors think that mark will move to 5-0, with the over generating 57% of the total number of tickets and 66% of the total dollars wagered.

For player props, two unders stand out in terms of total dollars wagered. The under on Rams wideout Van Jefferson receptions (3.5) is the most popular player prop so far by total dollars wagered. The under on Jefferson 3.5 receptions is favored at -125, while the over is -105.

The second-most popular player prop by total dollars wagered is the under on Seahawks tailback Chris Carson’s rushing yards. Carson is listed as questionable to play after suffering a neck injury. His rushing yardage opened at 55.5 and is now sitting at 39.5.
