And then there were four. Yup, we've reached championship weekend, as there are only three games left in the 2025 NFL season. On one side, the Broncos and Patriots are ready for battle, while Seattle and the Rams are also ready for action. Well, the Seahawks are small favorites over LA in the NFC Championship Game. Who will come out on top?
Both teams are entering this game with a ton of confidence. On Sunday night, the Rams were able to take down the Chicago Bears in an overtime thriller, while the Seahawks absolutely crushed the 49ers on Saturday. Seattle was close to perfect in that one and now the team's confidence is quite high with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line.
| NFC title game odds |  |  |  |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seahawks to win | -110 | -110 | -110 |
| Rams to win | +125 | +125 | +125 |
| Over. 47.5 points | -110 | -110 | -110 |
| Under 47.5 points | -110 | -110 | -110 |
"First, what an atmosphere. Holy smokes," coach Mike Macdonald said of the fans. "The 12s, just our organization putting on a great setting. You do try to actually try to take some time and look around and just understand how incredibly blessed we are with the best fans in the world. It definitely made an impact to start the game. I just want to appreciate this. That was awesome, freakin' awesome."
According to the best sports betting sites, the Seahawks hold -110 football betting odds to win this game. Meanwhile the NFL betting sites have given the Rams +125 odds. This one is going to be close and it's going to be interesting to see which side gets the job done. With that said, the Seahawks are our pick to win the NFC crown and move on to the Super Bowl.
Another thing I just realized about this photo. The smoke still hasn’t cleared from the pregame intros as Shaheed runs it into the end zone. Thats how fast the Seahawks scored.

The Patriots are road favorites against the Broncos in the AFC title game
On the other side of the bracket, the Patriots are road favorites against the Broncos in the AFC title game. This isn't a stunner at all, as Denver received heartbreaking news right after beating the Buffalo Bills in the Divisional Round. That news was that star quarterback Bo Nix is now out for the season with a broken bone in his ankle. Because of that, New England is expected to cruise to a win.
"He's a tough cookie," Broncos head coach Payton said after revealing Nix was out for the season. "I said (to him), 'Listen, I believe you're the second quarterback in Year 2 to take your team to a championship game. And the first is (Patrick) Mahomes.' This team, all year, has lost key players. We'll rise up for the next challenge, and we'll go from there."
Izzy Nix posted the moment after the Broncos’ win over the Bills where Bo Nix found out he fractured a bone in his ankle.
Bo’s family is there along with Jarrett Stidham, Sam Ehlinger and Davis Webb.
Izzy says other teammates came to see Bo as well.

If you're interested in getting in on the betting action, this is a reminder for you too that the local sportsbooks we work with are offering up some great promotions right now. With the NFL postseason in full swing, BetOnline, Bovada and others have some great NFL specials on the table for everyone to take full advantage of.
As for the action back on the gridiron, the Patriots are the road team for this one, but they've been given -150 NFL betting odds to take down Denver. This is bad news for the Broncos, who are expected to start Jarrett Stidham at quarterback for this one. Unfortunately, we think a long night is on the way for Denver - we're going with the Broncos as our pick.
Seattle still holds the best odds to win the Super Bowl this season
While the matchup for the Lombardi Trophy is still a few weeks away, keep in mind that Seattle still holds the best odds to win the Super Bowl this season. The Seahawks took home the No. 1 seed and they're at +225 right now to win it all. As you probably could have guessed, the Rams are right behind them.
For a lot of people, the expectation is that the winner of the NFC title game is going to go on to win the Super Bowl. Obviously, both the Patriots and the Broncos are going to have something to say about that, but it's not going to be easy for them.
From our chair, Seattle has what it takes to win it all, but this upcoming dance with the Rams should have people worried. If the Seahawks do take down LA, then we think they'll go on to win it all. Only time will tell if that happens or not, but Seattle is our pick there. It will be on Sam Darnold and others to deliver, but it could prove to be a year to remember for the NFC West side.
