Seahawks open as favorites over Rams in NFC Championship Game in Seattle

SEATTLE -- The NFC Championship Game is set, and it will feature a familiar matchup as the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams meet for the third time this season, with Seattle opening as the favorite.

Oddsmakers at BetOnline.ag have installed the Seahawks as 2.5-point favorites over the Rams in the NFC title game, with the over/under set at 47 points. The opening line reflects a shift from the lookahead number, which had Seattle favored by just one point before the weekend’s playoff results.

The matchup marks the third meeting between the NFC West rivals this season, with each team winning once at home. The Rams took the first meeting by two points at SoFi Stadium, while the Seahawks answered with a dramatic, comeback one-point overtime victory in Seattle, setting the stage for a tightly contested rubber match with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.

Seattle’s status as the favorite is also reflected in the updated Super Bowl LX futures. The Seahawks are currently listed as the overall favorites at 3/2 (+150), ahead of the Rams, who sit at 11/5 (+220). The New England Patriots are third at 11/4 (+275), followed by the Denver Broncos at 11/1.

The Rams’ shorter odds compared to most remaining teams underscore how narrow the gap is perceived to be between the NFC finalists, despite Seattle being favored at home. The Seahawks’ defense and home-field advantage have played a significant role in the early betting action, while the Rams’ ability to keep both regular-season meetings close has kept expectations of another tight game high.

In the AFC, the betting landscape has also shifted. With Broncos quarterback Bo Nix out with an injury, the AFC Championship Game line has moved significantly, reopening at New England -4 before climbing to Patriots -6.

Despite four teams being eliminated over the weekend, Denver’s Super Bowl odds have lengthened from 8/1 to 11/1, reflecting increased uncertainty around their path to a title without Nix.

For now, the focus remains on the NFC, where the Seahawks and Rams will meet once more, this time with the conference crown and a Super Bowl berth at stake.
