Rams favored by 4.5 at Bears, Seahawks favored by 6.5 vs. 49ers

Our Summary

The Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks are favored in the NFC divisional round matchups, with betting odds suggesting the Rams may face the Seahawks in the NFC Championship Game. The Rams are 4.5-point favorites against the Chicago Bears in an away game, while the Seahawks, holding the No. 1 seed, are 6.5-point favorites at home against the San Francisco 49ers. A Seahawks victory would secure their home-field advantage for the NFC Championship. Should the 49ers win, they would travel to face the winner between the Rams and Bears, as they cannot host a playoff game but could potentially play at home in Super Bowl LX. Current odds place the Seahawks as +120 favorites to win the NFC Championship, followed by the Rams at +150, the Bears at +700, and the 49ers at +800.
