00:00And as we have heard, Blue, from Sean McVay, who often, if his starters don't need to play,
00:06he doesn't send them out there.
00:08The starters will not play for the Rams on Sunday as L.A. hosts Seattle.
00:14Six and a half points spread now in favor of the Seahawks.
00:18That is important for the NFC playoff position.
00:22Will Seattle cruise to a victory in Los Angeles with mostly Rams reserves in the game?
00:28Yeah, so if you haven't seen Jimmy G in a minute, you'll get a chance this Sunday.
00:32Obviously, there's been a lot of talk about player incentives.
00:35I heard you guys discussing it earlier.
00:38And Gino Smith has a couple of big ones as well.
00:41What gets really funky about these games is that I could see Seattle jumping out to a lead, right?
00:48In fact, you probably take a look at some Seattle first-half overs.
00:52But the second halves of the games where there's just no motivation could be a total mess.
00:59That's what makes it very difficult to bet on these games.
01:02So I think you try to find different angles.
01:06So give me Seattle first-half in a game like this because I think they can come out playing for some pride.
01:12It would be unique for them to miss the playoffs with 10 wins.
01:16And that's what they're lining up to do, already eliminated but likely to win this game.
01:21Sean McVay will coach to his dying breath, but there's only so much you can do, to your point, Ben, when a lot of reserves are in.
01:29The expansion of practice squads, too, in the NFL since COVID allows for a greater shift in starters to be moved to a weekly rest period and bringing guys in off the practice squad.
01:43So there's a little bit more flexibility there than there used to be.
01:47And we're seeing it at play this week.
