Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks are heading into their Week 5 matchup on Thursday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams looking for a big-time win. Seattle came up with a 27-10 win over the Arizona Cardinals last week, but this game is going to be a much bigger test for them.

This game is going to be an early season tone setter for both teams. Seattle and Los Angeles are the two teams vying for the NFC West, although the San Francisco 49ers are still undefeated at this point in the season. Getting this win early on would be a huge statement.

All of that being said, here are three bold predictions for the Seahawks' offense against the Rams.

3. DK Metcalf Racks Up 125 Receiving Yards

Let's not allow this to sound like the Rams don't have a good defense, because they do. However, DK Metcalf is going to wreak havoc on them all game long.

Seattle has loved what they have seen from their rookie wide receiver so far. Metcalf has top-notch speed and amazing athleticism. Those two things are going to make for a big performance to once again prove his critics wrong.

2. Seattle Will Allow Only Two Sacks

Los Angeles has a lot of talent on the edge and on the defensive line. Names like Aaron Donald, Clay Matthews, and Dante Fowler Jr. are always going to make offensive line have nightmares. This week, however, the Seahawks are going to keep Wilson mostly upright.

While the Rams are going to come away with two sacks, they aren't going to make the impact they are hoping for. Wilson will have time to make plays and he will make the Los Angeles defense pay.

1. They Will Score 30 Points

Seattle is going to have a good offensive performance in a huge rivalry game. Wilson is going to have a big game through the air and both Chris Carson and Rashaad Penny will have solid performances as well.

Los Angeles will put up some points as well, but the Seahawks will end up putting 30 on the board. Whether or not that will be enough for a win, we'll have to wait and see. Regardless, the offense is going to have a big performance.
