This weekend, we will find out which teams will participate in Super Bowl LX. On Sunday, January 25, the AFC and NFC championship games take place. The NFC title game finds the Los Angeles Rams heading north to Washington to face the Seattle Seahawks. In the AFC championship, the No. 1 seed Denver Broncos host the New England Patriots. Today, we look at the betting odds, picks, and predictions for the NFC championship game.
The Seattle Seahawks finished the 2025 NFL season as the top team in the NFC with a 14-3 record. Seattle wrapped up the year on a seven-game winning streak and has not lost since Week 11, when the Rams defeated them 21-19 on the road. The Seahawks are coming off a 41-6 drubbing of the San Francisco 49ers.
The Los Angeles Rams were 12-5 in 2025, which was good enough for second place in the NFC West, one spot below the Seahawks. Los Angeles was 1-2 in the final three weeks of the regular season, losing to Seattle (38-37 in OT) and Atlanta (27-24), before finishing the year with a 37-20 win over Arizona. The Rams have defeated Carolina (34-31) and Chicago (20-17 in OT) to reach the NFC championship game.
The NFC championship game airs on FOX at 6:30 p.m. ET on Sunday, January 25.

The Los Angeles Rams come into the NFC championship game having played one more playoff game than the Seahawks, and following an OT win over the Bears, which gives them one less day of rest than Seattle. Los Angeles is also traveling to one of the toughest stadiums for visiting teams.
Matthew Stafford is one of the best quarterbacks in the league when he has time and space. The Rams’ offensive linewill be tested on Sunday. Seattle is one of the top teams in overall pressure. If Los Angeles can give Stafford the time he needs, the Rams have a shot at the upset. One positive for LA, Seattle did not sack Stafford during the regular season meetings between these clubs.
In their most recent meeting between Los Angeles and Seattle, Stafford threw 49 passes, completing 29. Twelve of those completions went to Puka Nacau, who racked up 225 yards and two touchdowns, which was his season high in catches. Stafford will once again look for Nacau more often than not.
The Rams’ defense must focus on the rushing game of Kenneth Walker III. If Los Angeles can shut down Walker, the Seattle run game will be in big trouble.
There is some concern about quarterback Sam Darnold and his oblique injury. He only threw 17 passes against the 49ers (completed 12) for 124 yards. In the most recent game against the Rams, he went 22 for 34 for 270 yards with two touchdowns. If Darnold’s passing is limited, the run game will be important for Seattle, and that could be an issue this week.
The Seahawks are without Zach Charbonnet on Sunday after he suffered a torn ACL in the win over the 49ers. Charbonnet was the No. 2 rusher on the team during the regular season with 730 yards on 184 carries. The team will rely on top rusher Kenneth Walker III against Los Angeles. After Walker and Charbonnet, Darnold is the next highest rusher with 35 carries during the regular season.
Puka Nacau had a great game against the Seattle secondary in Week 16. The Seahawks need to change up how it covers the outstanding receiver on Sunday. The options are double-teaming him or having Devon Witherspoon shadow Nacau throughout the game. Seattle must contain Nacau as much as possible.
One area the Seahawks must improve is turnovers. They gave up the ball seven times in their games against the Rams this year, six via interceptions. Darnold must avoid mistakes and turnovers.
The Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks met twice during the 2025 regular season. In Week 11, the Rams won at home (21-19), while in Week 16, the Seahawks triumphed at home (38-37) in overtime. Expect another tightly contested game between these NFC West clubs, with the winner moving on to Super Bowl LX.
The betting pick is that the Seattle Seahawks will move on to Super Bowl LX with a win over the Los Angeles Rams.
With two close games during the regular season, the betting pick is to take the points on the Rams on Sunday.
