Seattle can virtually lock up NFC West with victory over Rams<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The Seattle Seahawks? cushion in the NFC West division can balloon to three games today, or the St. Louis Rams can shrink it to one.Which will it be??I think it could be a defining moment for both teams,? Rams interim coach Joe Vitt said.The Seahawks are 6-2. The Rams are 4-4.Seattle won at St. Louis last month to snap a four-game losing streak in the series, counting playoffs.The Seahawks own the NFL?s top-ranked offense. The Rams? offense ranks second.Seattle?s Shaun Alexander rushed for 173 yards in the Seahawks? victory last week. The Rams? Steven Jackson gained 176 yards to help St. Louis claim a victory heading into its bye week.The Seahawks have improved their defense from No. 26 last season to 14th at present, but as many as four opening-day starters might not play. The Rams? defense is lagging at No. 30, one reason oddsmakers favor the Seahawks by a touchdown.But what do oddsmakers know? The underdog has won three of the past four games between the teams, counting playoffs.</div>I won't be online during this game, that's for sure. I'm so pumped, it's beyond words right now...All I know is that once Shaun Alexander gets in a rythm, it will be over (actually, if either back in the game - that means you, Steven Jackson; nice name, by the way - gets into a rythm, it will be over).This game is also marked as the first game Bryce Fisher and Grant Wistrom will play against their former team away from St. Louis.Expect a blood match, my friends.*in deepest voice possible, mimicking that of Jigsaw from Saw*Oh yes, there will be blood...
